Pulsed Field Ablation
FDA approves first pulsed field AF ablation system
Medtronic announced the FDA approved its pulsed field ablation system for treatment of both paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation via pulmonary vein isolation.
Pulsed field ablation rivals thermal technique but with faster procedure times: ADVENT
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.
Pulsed field ablation confers successful outcomes in real-world population
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.
Pulsed field ablation improves atrial arrhythmia burden, quality of life in AF
In patients with atrial fibrillation, pulsed field ablation was associated with reduced atrial arrhythmia burden and improved quality of life, according to new data from the PULSED AF trial.
