Safety and Efficacy of Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Elderly Patients

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) was evaluated in 479 patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), 52% paroxysmal. Among 104 patients > 75 years, complication rates and 6‐ and 12‐month arrhythmia‐free survival were not significantly different from younger patients. Age did not predict recurrence. PFA appears safe and effective in elderly AF patients.

Outcomes of Pulsed Field Versus Cryoballoon Ablation in Atrial Fibrillation: A Comprehensive Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
The key findings of this meta‐analysis are as follows: (1) PFA was associated with a significantly shorter duration compared to the CBA group, (2) PFA was associated with a significantly lower rate of arrhythmia recurrence compared with CBA. Yet, the rate of redo ablation did not differ significantly between both groups, (3) The overall complication ...
