“…Atrial lesions did not present a different T1 signal or surviving cardiomyocytes in the observed area, but animal studies on intact rabbit hearts hinted that the atria might be more susceptible to electroporation (Fedorov et al, 2008). It is also possible that AC-PFA lesions might take more time to mature, compared to RF ones, due to the non-necrotic scar formation (Reddy et al, 2018). Flexibility of PFA is demonstrated by the similar efficacy reported with the plethora of pulse features presented in the literature.…”

“…Cardiac muscle sensitivity has been demonstrated in several in vitro, in vivo (Sugrue et al, 2019), and in pilot clinical studies (Reddy et al, 2018). It represents, with tissue selectivity, the cornerstone of the potential success of PFA in clinical trials.…”

“…In addition to these limitations, recurrence of AF may occur in as much as 50% of persons with persistent AF within the first 18 months of the initial RFA procedure [7]. As a result, techniques utilizing alternate energy sources including cryotherapy, and more recently laser and pulsed electric fields have been explored with clinical efficacy comparable to RFA with similar procedural and side effect profiles [8,9].…”
