Comparison of Cerebral Micro‐Embolization Detected by Transcranial Doppler Examination Between Radiofrequency Ablation and Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
Pulsed field ablation was associated with a higher cerebral MES count than high-power short-duration radiofrequency ablation, with marked differences between catheter systems. Transcranial doppler indicates ablation as the most embolic step in both PFA and high-power short duration ablation.
