Impact of Pulsed‐Field Ablation on the Left Atrial Appendage Diameter—Insights From Intra‐Procedural Echocardiography
LAA anteroposterior diameter does not change after PVI with PFA. Although there is a significant change in the anteroposterior diameters of the LPV and the left atrial ridge, it does not seem clinically relevant. If significant edema formation is detected in a single case after PVI, postponing the LAAO procedure should be considered.
