Beyond the Pulmonary Veins: The Influence of Pulsed Field Ablation on the Superior Vena Cava
PFA for RSPV isolation can cause SVC conduction abnormalities, with anatomical proximity as a key determinant. Preprocedural CT assessment may predict unintentional SVC involvement, which may alter arrhythmogenicity. Further studies are needed to assess long-term clinical implications.
