Patient Comfort and Response Pattern Following Pulsed‐Field Ablation Compared to Radiofrequency Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
In this retrospective study, patients undergoing PFA for AF under general anesthesia experienced fewer ED visits for procedure-related issues compared to those undergoing RFA. While these clinical endpoints potentially suggest improved procedural recovery with PFA compared to RFA, larger prospective studies using patient-reported outcome measures are warranted.
