Pulsed field ablation matches radiofrequency ablation durability for atrial fibrillation pulmonary vein isolation

Pulsed field ablation (PFA) shows comparable durability to radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for atrial fibrillation (AFib) pulmonary vein isolation. New studies indicate PFA matches RFA in preventing pulmonary vein reconnection and AFib recurrence, with similar long-term success rates. Registry data also reveals PFA has a low rate of adverse events, including no esophageal or phrenic nerve injuries, in initial AFib ablations.
