Pulsed-field ablation versus cryoballoon ablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation
In patients with persistent AF undergoing a PVI only approach, PFA was associated with shorter procedural times and similar efficacy, with a higher frequency of regression from persistent to paroxysmal AF. Future studies are needed to evaluate the role of ablation strategies beyond PVI when using PFA.
