Abstract:Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of atrial fibrillation ablation. Radiofrequency ablation has been the most common source of energy used to achieve PVI until now. In recent years, cryoballoon ablation has gained popularity due to its ability to perform PVI in a ‘single-shot’ fashion. In both cases (radiofrequency and cryoablation), the main limitation is their inability to achieve durable lesions without causing collateral damage to adjacent structures. In contrast, pulsed electric field (PEF)… Show more
