Does sequential, colocalized radiofrequency and pulsed field ablation increase cardiac lesion size compared to either modality alone?
Sequential application of radiofrequency and pulsed field ablation creates significantly larger cardiac lesions than either modality alone.
Combined, colocalized radiofrequency and PF, irrespective of order, show significantly increased lesion size compared with the same dose of PF or radiofrequency alone.
