Po-636-08 pulse field ablation for pulmonary vein isolation: acute results from a multicentric registry

Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a nonthermal ablative modality using a strong electrical field created around a dedicated catheter to produce pores in the cellular membrane. As the amount of energy required to produce electroporation is highly tissue dependant, the atrial myocardium can be specificly targeted while sparing adjacent tissues. Theoretically, this new ablation modality could increase the safety of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) procedures compare to PVI using thermal energies. Real-life clinical data are still lacking regarding feasibility and safety of PFA.
