Why the study?
Pulsed field ablation was recently introduced for symptomatic AF to selectively ablate myocardium while sparing surrounding tissues, prompting evaluation of procedural findings and peri-procedural safety in an initial clinical experience.
Is pulsed field ablation using the FARAWAVE catheter safe and feasible for pulmonary vein isolation in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation?
Is pulsed field ablation using the FARAWAVE catheter safe and feasible for pulmonary vein isolation in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation?
Initial experience suggests that pulsed field ablation for pulmonary vein isolation is safe, with only minor access site bleeding complications observed.

Supports PFA safety with minimal access complications in this series; hypothesis-generating, requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
