Pulsed field ablation using a circular electrode array catheter in patients with atrial fibrillation: A workflow optimization study evaluating the role of mapping
The cPFA-catheter allows for fast and efficient PVI. A fluoroscopy-only approach creates distal PV ablation lesions that are associated with residual PV conduction along the carina and anterior antrum. However, with visualization and mapping, creation of wide antral ablation lesions is feasible without prolonging procedural duration.
