Key result
A zero-fluoroscopy approach using intracardiac echocardiography was successfully utilized for ablation with the Farapulse PFA system in a series of three patients.
Why the study?
Reported radiation doses in pulse field ablation procedures using multielectrode catheters are relatively high, largely due to a lack of 3D electroanatomical mapping integration.
Case Report (n=3)
Demonstrates the initial feasibility of a zero-fluoroscopy approach using intracardiac echocardiography for pulsed field ablation of atrial fibrillation.
Pulse field ablation (PFA) is a novel nonthermal ablation modality for treatment of atrial fibrillation. While mostly lacking 3D electroanatomical mapping integration, reported radiation doses in procedures using multielectrode PFA catheters are relatively high. We report a first case series of three patients where a zero-fluoroscopy approach by intracardiac echocardiography was utilized and present a possible workflow for zero-fluoroscopy ablation with the Farapulse PFA system.
