Acute durability of cavotricuspid isthmus block after pulsed electric field ablation: randomized comparison of two pentaspline catheter configurations (SECTION trial)
Pulsed electric field ablation of the CTI using the flower configuration of the pentaspline catheter demonstrated higher acute efficacy in achieving CTI block and a more favourable safety profile regarding haemolysis compared to the basket configuration. This is likely due to the larger footprint and improved tissue contact of all electrodes, minimizing the leakage of PEF energy into the blood pool.
