Initial experience of transoesophageal echocardiography-guided percutaneous pulsed field ablation of atrial fibrillation
We report the preliminary application of 3D TEE-guided PFA for AF in the world. Its immediate safety and efficacy are promising. Compared with traditional PFA procedures, TEEP has many advantages, including accuracy of the transeptal puncture, direct visualisation of contact between the catheter and myocardial tissue, no contrast and zero fluoroscopy.
