Abstract:IntroductionPulsed field ablation (PFA) has emerged as an innovative technique for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Typically, a transeptal puncture (TSP) with a standard sheath precedes a switch to the larger diameter sheath in the left atrium. This study aimed to describe the safety and feasibility of direct TSP using the large diameter Faradrive sheath before performing PVI with PFA.MethodsWe prospectively enrolled 166 consecutive patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing PVI… Show more
