Pulsed field ablation is an innovative nonthermal ablative technique with limited evidence regarding its efficacy for treating ventricular tachycardia.
Case Report
Does pulsed field ablation improve outcomes in patients with ventricular tachycardia after failed radiofrequency ablation?
Pulsed field ablation is being explored as a potential rescue therapy for ventricular tachycardia after failed radiofrequency ablation.
Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is an innovative ablative technique increasingly employed in managing atrial fibrillation. It uses high-energy, nonthermal, nanosecond electrical pulses to induce irreversible electroporation, selectively disrupting cellular structures. These tailored waveforms minimize damage to surrounding nonmyocardial tissues, such as pulmonary veins, esophagus, and nerves.1 However, there is limited evidence on the efficacy of PFA for treating ventricular tachycardia (VT).
Prajapati et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Ventricular tachycardia. Pulsed field ablation was evaluated. Pulsed field ablation is an innovative nonthermal ablative technique with limited evidence regarding its efficacy for treating ventricular tachycardia.
