Prognostic Impact of Early Recurrence Following Pulsed Field Ablation: A Meta‐Analysis
ERAT after PFA is a strong predictor of LRAT, especially if occurring beyond the first month. These findings challenge the traditional 3-month blanking period for PFA and support shortening or individualizing this window. A tailored post-PFA surveillance approach focusing on arrhythmias beyond 1 month may improve timely interventions and long-term outcomes. Prospective studies are needed to refine blanking period duration for PFA.
