Initial experience of transoesophageal echocardiography-guided percutaneous pulsed field ablation of atrial fibrillation

Open Heart

Objective Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is a new technology of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). This research is to investigate the feasibility of a new strategy (transoesophageal echocardiography-guided pulsed field ablation, TEEP) to guide PFA for AF with no contrast and zero fluoroscopy.

Long-term Efficacy of a Standardized Catheter Ablation Strategy Utilizing Recent Advanced Technologies in Preventing Permanent Atrial Fibrillation

HeartRhythm

Ablation index (AI)-guided pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has enhanced procedural outcomes for atrial fibrillation (AF).1 1 However, patients with persistent AF present higher recurrence rates due to advanced atrial remodeling,2-3 represented by the left atrial low voltage area (LVA), compared to those with paroxysmal AF.
