Does selective pulse field ablation using a multi-electrode circular catheter terminate focal atrial tachycardia?
The VARIPULSE circular multi-electrode catheter can safely and effectively deliver targeted pulse field ablation for the treatment of focal right atrial tachycardia.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports targeted PFA near phrenic nerve for focal AT; single-case data leave generalizability and safety open for prospective study.

Skaf et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Focal atrial tachycardia (n=1). VARIPULSE multi-electrode circular pulse field ablation catheter vs. Radiofrequency ablation (initial attempt) was evaluated on Tachycardia termination and non-inducibility. Targeted pulse field ablation using the VARIPULSE circular multi-electrode catheter successfully and safely terminated a right focal atrial tachycardia located near the phrenic nerve.
