Pulsed field ablation selectively spares the oesophagus during pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation

Abstract Aims Extra-atrial injury can cause complications after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has generated preclinical data suggesting that it selectively targets the myocardium. We sought to characterize extra-atrial injuries after pulmonary vein isola...

Description
Summary:Abstract Aims Extra-atrial injury can cause complications after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has generated preclinical data suggesting that it selectively targets the myocardium. We sought to characterize extra-atrial injuries after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) between PFA and thermal ablation methods. Methods and results Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging was performed before, acutely (
