Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Obesity: Procedural and Clinical Outcomes

Patients with obesity had no signal of increased risk detected with regard to procedural safety and clinical outcomes with PFA for AF compared with nonobese patients. These findings apply to a specific pentaspline PFA catheter rather than PFA technology in general.

Abstract

Patients with obesity had no signal of increased risk detected with regard to procedural safety and clinical outcomes with PFA for AF compared with nonobese patients. These findings apply to a specific pentaspline PFA catheter rather than PFA technology in general.
