PO-01-147 ACUTE PERICARDITIS WITH CLASSICAL ECG CHANGES FOLLOWING PULSED-FIELD ABLATION USING A CIRCULAR ARRAY PFA CATHETER

HeartRhythm

Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) has emerged as an innovative treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF), utilizing high-energy pulsed electric fields to induce tissue necrosis. Established thermal ablation modalities, such as radiofrequency (RF) and cryo-balloon (CB), report acute pericarditis rates ranging from 110%.

PO-03-193 PREVALENCE AND CLINICAL COURSE OF SUSPECTED ACUTE PERICARDITIS FOLLOWING ATRIAL PULSED-FIELD ABLATION

HeartRhythm

Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is a novel, tissue-selective energy source for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, with high efficacy and minimal collateral tissue damage. However, the prevalence and clinical significance of this phenomenon remain unclear.

Colchicine to Prevent Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Catheter Ablation: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology

BACKGROUND:Inflammation may promote atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation. This study aimed to evaluate a short-term anti-inflammatory treatment with colchicine following ablation of AF.METHODS:Patients scheduled for ablation were randomized to receive colchicine 0.6 2.02];P=0.89).

Pulsed Field Ablation Using Focal Contact Force–Sensing Catheters for Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation: 1-Year Outcomes of the ECLIPSE AF Study

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology

BACKGROUND:Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a promising treatment for atrial fibrillation. Patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation underwent pulmonary vein (PV) isolation under deep sedation or general anesthesia and returned for remapping at 90 days to evaluate chronic durability.
