Pulsed field ablation: focused on atrial fibrillation ablation [PDF]

The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained tachyarrhythmia and its increasing prevalence has resulted in a growing healthcare burden. Catheter ablation is indicated for patients with AF who are either refractory or intolerant to antiarrhythmic

Pulsed Field Ablation of Superior Vena Cava: Feasibility and Safety of Pulsed Field Ablation [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: Studies have shown that pulsed field ablation (PFA) has excellent effectiveness and safety in pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). However, there are few reports about the application of PFA, especially the alternating current (AC) biphase PFA, in

Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2023
Catheter ablation is a widely used, effective and safe treatment for AF. Pulsed field ablation (PFA), as a novel energy source for cardiac ablation, has been shown to be tissue selective and is expected to decrease damage to non-cardiac tissue while ...

Pulsed field ablation – Electroporation

Cardiologia Hungarica
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the primary treatment. PVI is the most common electrophysiological intervention and therefore safety and efficacy are essential.

Pulsed field ablation: Biophysical principles and practical considerations in atrial fibrillation treatment [PDF]

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal
Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is an emerging nonthermal ablation modality for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Unlike conventional thermal energy sources such as radiofrequency and cryoablation, PFA delivers high-voltage pulsed electric fields that ...

Anaesthesia for Pulsed Field Ablation Procedures. [PDF]

Arrhythm Electrophysiol Rev
Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel, non-thermal technology used in catheter ablation procedures. Despite its growing clinical adoption, a standardised sedation protocol has not yet been established. Well-coordinated anaesthesia management is essential for procedural success, patient safety and comfort.

The promise of pulsed field ablation and the challenges ahead

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
For many years, guidelines have suggested thermal ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Thermal ablation involves the destruction of tissue, leading to multiple complications. This ablation technique has been tried and tested, however, newer

Pulsed Field Ablation: A Comprehensive Update

Journal of Clinical Medicine
One of the recent advancements in the field of cardiac electrophysiology is pulsed field ablation (PFA). PFA is a novel energy modality that does not rely on thermal processes to achieve ablation which, in turn, results in limited collateral damage to surrounding structures.
