Key result
Pulsed field ablation offers favorable safety and efficiency in AF, though long-term data remain limited.
Why the study?
Long-term comparative outcome data across contemporary pulsed field ablation platforms for atrial fibrillation, including paroxysmal and persistent AF patients, remain limited.
Population
Patients with paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation
Comparison
Contemporary pulsed field ablation technologies
Design
Multicenter registry study
Long-term PFA platform comparisons in mixed AF populations remain limited; prospective trials needed before guiding selection.
Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has rapidly emerged as a preferred energy source for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation due to its favorable safety profile and procedural efficiency. However, long-term comparative outcome data across contemporary PFA platforms remain limited, particularly in populations including both paroxysmal and peristent AF patients.
