Catheter Design Matters: Hemolysis and Renal Function after Pulsed Field Ablation with Balloon-in-Basket vs. Pentaspline Systems
The pentaspline catheter induced more hemolysis and a measurable decline in renal function. Myoglobin increases were similar in both groups and unlikely to explain the renal findings. Catheter design and energy delivery appear to shape the systemic impact profile of PFA.
