Key result
Initial experience using a three-dimensional pulsed field ablation system integrating mapping and ablation with an annular catheter was described for the treatment of arrhythmias.
Why the study?
Most clinical PFA research has used basket- or flower-shaped catheters requiring large introducing sheaths and fluoroscopic guidance, prompting evaluation of a three-dimensional system integrating mapping and ablation with an annular catheter.
Case Report
Initial experience report on a novel three-dimensional pulsed field ablation system that integrates mapping and ablation using an annular catheter.
Early experience supports map-integrated PFA feasibility; leaves open comparative efficacy and safety versus standard catheters.
Pulsed field ablation (PFA), a promising technology for ablating arrhythmias, has significantly better efficiency and potentially greater safety than traditional ablation techniques using thermal injury. However, most clinical research on PFA for ablation to date has used basket- or flower-shaped catheters, thus requiring a large introducing sheath and catheter location under fluoroscopic guidance. Herein, we describe our initial experience in using a three-dimensional PFA system integrating mapping and ablation, and an annular catheter.
