Key result
PFA for AF linked to post-cardiac injury syndrome in a low body mass patient.
Why the study?
The spectrum of adverse effects attributable to pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation remains incompletely understood, requiring reporting of unexpected complications.
This case highlights Post-Cardiac Injury Syndrome as a potential unexpected complication of Pulsed Field Ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Pulse Field Ablation (PFA) has rapidly become a widely adopted approach to ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), in large part due to its improved safety profile relative to thermal ablation. However, the spectrum of adverse effects attributable to this emerging technology remains incompletely understood, and unexpected complications require ongoing reporting.
