Key result
Integrated pentaspline PFA catheter enables dynamic 3D electroanatomic mapping during atrial fibrillation ablation.
Why the study?
A pentaspline pulsed-field ablation catheter was recently integrated with an electroanatomic 3D mapping system to enable left atrial reconstruction and dynamic visualization of shape and contact during AF ablation.
Reports the first clinical experience of integrating a pentaspline PFA catheter with a 3D mapping system for AF ablation.
Enables dynamic 3D visualization during pentaspline PFA for AF; leaves open effects on safety and efficacy.
Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) has emerged as a major breakthrough in the setting of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, reducing potential complications associated with thermal energy while maintaining comparable efficacy. Recently, the pentaspline PFA catheter (FaraWave NAV; Farapulse, Boston Scientific) has been integrated with the OPAL HDx mapping system, enabling electroanatomic 3D reconstruction of left atria and dynamic visualization of shape and contact during ablation.
