Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in real-life settings: Efficacy, Safety and Lesion Durability in Patients with Recurrences

Initial findings from feasibility studies on pulsed field ablation (PFA) in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) indicated high rates of efficacy and pulmonary vein (PV) isolation (PVI) durability upon systematic remapping. Nonetheless, there remains a shortage of data regarding effectiveness, lesion durability and safety of the procedure beyond the scope of feasibility studies. This analysis was conducted to assess the efficacy, safety and lesion durability associated with PFA for AF in real-life settings.
