Case report documents ventricular fibrillation during left atrial pulsed field ablation.
Case Report (n=1)
Ventricular fibrillation may occur during left atrial pulsed field ablation; case report leaves open incidence and prevention needs.
Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) represents an innovative approach to catheter ablation procedures, leveraging ultra-rapid electrical impulses to induce irreversible electroporation of myocardial cells. Distinguished from radiofrequency (RF), PFA operates without thermal energy generation, demonstrating exceptional specificity for myocardial cells1,2. Consequently, it has exhibited favorable safety profiles, significantly reducing the incidence of major complications such as atrio-esophageal fistula, pulmonary vein stenosis, and phrenic nerve injury3.
