Anterior mitral isthmus line using pulsed-field ablation with the pentaspline catheter or radiofrequency ablation: procedural characteristics, safety, and mid-term outcomes
Anterior MIL ablation using PFA is feasible, safe, and more time-efficient than RFA, with comparable mid-term arrhythmia outcomes. However, high rates of MIL reconnection and arrhythmia recurrence highlights the need to improve lesion durability.
