Pearls and Pitfalls of Pulsed Field Ablation

Korean Circulation Journal, 2023
Pulsed field ablation (PFA) was recently rediscovered as an emerging treatment modality for the ablation of cardiac arrhythmias. Ultra-short high voltage pulses are leading to irreversible electroporation of cardiac cells subsequently resulting in cell death.

Pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation

Expert Review of Medical Devices
Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained arrhythmia, associated with substantial morbidity and a reduced quality of life. The current standard of care, transcatheter pulmonary vein isolation using thermal ablation techniques, provides symptom relief but carries a risk of collateral tissue damage.
