Direct Comparison of Two Commercially Available Pulsed Field Ablation Systems for Atrial Fibrillation; Procedure Characteristics and Acute Outcomes
This study showed excellent acute efficacy and safety for both PFA-systems. Our findings reveal shorter procedural times with the pentaspline catheter, less minor access site complications with the circular catheter, and several procedural differences between the ablation systems, often driven by operator choice.
