Difference in Cerebral Microembolization With Multielectrode Pentaspline or Variable‐Loop Circular PFA Systems
VLCC PFA was associated with higher and more variable cerebral microembolization compared with the Pentaspline system. These findings underscore the impact of catheter design and energy delivery on embolic load and highlight the need for dedicated cerebrovascular safety evaluation.
