Streamlined concomitant pulse field ablation based pulmonary vein isolation and left atrial appendage occlusion via a single venous access approach – A case report
A streamlined concomitant PFA-based PVI and LAAC procedure utilizing FARAPULSE and WATCHMAN FLX devices seems to be feasible and safe. Swelling of the ridge after PVI was observed; however, the sizing measurements have been performed prior PVI, and the LAAC procedure was successful with no evidence for gaps or leakage. A concomitant approach might be a suitable option for selected patients.
