Why the study?
Does pulsed field ablation compared to radiofrequency ablation cause coronary artery spasm during mitral isthmus ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation?

PFA mitral isthmus ablation was associated with LCx spasm; leaves open need for monitoring or outcome impact versus RFA.
Does pulsed field ablation compared to radiofrequency ablation cause coronary artery spasm during mitral isthmus ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation?
Pulsed field ablation of the mitral isthmus is associated with frequent but typically subclinical left circumflex arterial vasospasm compared to radiofrequency ablation.
Zhang et al. (2023) studied this question.
