Initial experiences and technical insights of pulmonary vein isolation with FARAPULSE pulsed field ablation in patients implanted with <scp>WATCHMAN</scp> left atrial appendage closure devices: The first report in Japan
We performed pulsed field ablation using FARAPULSE after left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). We should confirm flower configurations did not overlap with the LAAC device using intracardiac echocardiography and 3-D mapping system and without LAAC device artifacts by real-time electrograms. If overlapping, push the flower configuration deeper and tilt posteriorly to resolve.
