Near-zero fluoroscopy workflow for pulmonary vein isolation in atrial fibrillation using a variable loop, 3D-integrated circular PFA catheter (Varipulse™): initial single-center experience with the first 35 patients
The VARIPULSE™ Pulsed Field Ablation system enables an efficient, nearly fluoroscopy-free atrial fibrillation ablation with a simple, easily integrable workflow in the electrophysiology lab. Complete pulmonary vein isolation was achieved in all cases without radiofrequency touch-ups, and the procedure was safe with no major complications. This demonstrates the potential for widespread adoption of this technology and workflow.
