Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Pulsed field ablation is a highly promising, tissue-selective alternative to thermal ablation for atrial fibrillation, demonstrating comparable efficacy and a favorable safety profile, though specific catheter-related complications necessitate ongoing optimization.
Pulsed field ablation is an emerging strategy for cardiac arrhythmia ablation that offers tissue selectivity and a favourable safety profile, demonstrating high acute pulmonary vein isolation rates and low complication rates. Ongoing innovations in catheter design, pulse parameters and energy combinations aim to enhance lesion depth and durability, positioning pulsed field ablation as a promising cornerstone in the future of cardiac ablation.
