Pulsed Field Ablation for Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Atrial Fibrillation
2019
Journal of the American College of Cardiology
Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation using thermal energies such as radiofrequency or cryothermy is associated with indiscriminate tissue destruction. During pulsed field ablation (PFA), subsecond electric fields create microscopic pores in cell membranes-a process called electroporation. Among cell types, cardiomyocytes have among the lowest thresholds to these fields, potentially permitting preferential myocardial ablation.
