Aims Superior vena cava (SVC) isolation during atrial fibrillation catheter ablation is limited
by the risk of collateral damage to the sinus node and/or the phrenic nerve. Due to its tissue …

One of the most significant recent advances in developing new technologies for the
interventional treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been the introduction of pulsed field …

Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is emerging as an efficient, effective, and safe energy source to
achieve pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). 1, 2 One of …

Background Subtypes of atrial fibrillation (AF) can differ, and exact mechanisms in which
patients benefit from the pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) remain not fully understood. During …

Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel ablation energy source, which leads to
selective and irreversible electroporation of cardiomyocytes with no collateral damage to …

Aims Previous clinical studies on pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with a radiofrequency
balloon (RFB) reported safe and effective procedures using conventional ablation settings …

Background The first commercial systems for pulsed field ablation (PFA) were recently
approved by the Food and Drug Administration, but their safety profile in nationwide practice …

Catheter ablation has become the most effective rhythmcontrol strategy in treating atrial
fibrillation (AF), preventing AF recurrence and delaying its progression to persistent AF …

Objective: To investigate the differences in safety and efficacy between high-frequency
stimulation (HFS) and anatomically guided endocardial catheter ablation (AA) of the …

Discussion In 1978, Coumel and associates 2 first reported that autonomic nerve excitation
is involved in the onset and persistence of AF. Although there is no absolute definition of …
