Insights Into Early Adoption and Physician Learning Curve of Pulsed Field Ablation in the United States
Initial US experience with the pentaspline PFA catheter demonstrated key differences from previously reported European workflows, including higher use of general anesthesia and electroanatomic mapping. Physician learning curve analysis indicated rapid adoption, with improvements in procedural efficiency and consistent safety with operator experience.
