In adults with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, pulsed field ablation was noninferior to conventional thermal ablation for safety and efficacy, with significantly less pulmonary vein narrowing and faster procedure times, researchers stated.

In the EU-PORIA real-world registry of patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent pulsed field ablation, most patients did not have recurrence at 1 year and the learning curve for operators was quick.
