Reduced Early Recurrence After Pulmonary Vein Isolation With Pulsed Field Ablation Compared to Thermal Ablation
PFA was associated with a significantly lower rate of early arrhythmias, which may be related to differences in tissue injury mechanisms. These findings suggest PFA may offer a clinical advantage in reducing clinically relevant ERAT and the associated healthcare burden after PVI.
