Background Catheter-based pulmonary vein isolation is an effective treatment for
paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Pulsed field ablation, which delivers microsecond high-voltage …

Background: Pulsed field ablation is a novel nonthermal cardiac ablation modality using
ultra-rapid electrical pulses to cause cell death by a mechanism of irreversible …

In the last three decades, ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an evidence-based
safe and efficacious treatment for managing the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In 2007 …

Background During atrial fibrillation ablations using thermal energy, the treatment effect is
attributed to not just pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), but also to modulation of the autonomic …

Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is an established therapy that reduces AF burden,
improves quality of life, and reduces the risks of cardiovascular outcomes. Although there …

Background: Recurrences of atrial fibrillation (AF) after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) are
mainly due to pulmonary vein reconnection. However, a growing number of patients have …

Purpose Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is a new energy source to achieve pulmonary vein
isolation (PVI) by targeted electroporation of cardiomyocytes. Experimental and controlled …

Background The ADVENT randomized trial revealed no significant difference in 1-year
freedom from atrial arrhythmias (AA) between thermal (radiofrequency/cryoballoon) and …

Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel method of cardiac ablation demonstrated
in early pre-clinical and clinical settings. The aim of this study was to report the safety and …

Aims Catheter ablation with a cryoballoon (CB) provides effective and durable pulmonary
vein (PV) isolation (PVI) associated with encouraging clinical outcome data. The novel …
