Pulsed‐Field Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation in EU‐PORIA Registry

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

The Kaplan-Meier curve of all-atrial arrhythmia-free survival for (A) all persistent patients and (B) patients who underwent PSM conducted to the higher recurrence rate in PVI + group. At 1-year follow-up, the PVI only group showed significantly fewer atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrences compared to PVI + group (69% vs. 56%, p =0.013).
