New AF ablation technologies reviewed as PVI alternatives; leaves open comparative efficacy and safety versus radiofrequency pending RCTs.
Pulmonary vein isolation is the cornerstone of atrial fibrillation ablation. Besides traditional radiofrequency ablation, evolving technologies have been developed. These new atrial fibrillation ablation technologies, such as different balloon-based ablation approaches and pulsed field ablation, have their own unique theoretical basis and ablation characteristics. This review focuses on these new atrial fibrillation ablation technologies, which can help to achieve pulmonary vein isolation more easily and quickly.
