Late-breaking Clinical Trial Results from FARADISE, adMIRE Study and Advent Trial at Heart Rhythm 2024 Highlight Pulsed Field Ablation Developments for Atrial Fibrillation Treatment

DAIC

During its Annual Conference, HRS 2024, the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) announced findings from three new studies demonstrating the safety and efficacy of pulsed field ablation (PFA), a nonthermal ablation treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). See full findings from the FARADISE, admIRE Study, and Advent Trial here.

PO-06-187 PULMONARY HEMORRHAGE DURING CRYOABLATION FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: AN UNUSUAL COMPLICATION

HeartRhythm

Cryoablation for atrial fibrillation is a widely used technique for pulmonary vein isolation. Known complications associated with cryoablation include tamponade, phrenic nerve injury, stroke, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary vein stenosis, and atrioesophageal fistulas.

Incident cardiovascular, renal, metabolic diseases and death in individuals identified for risk-guided atrial fibrillation screening: a nationwide cohort study

Open Heart

Objective Risk-guided atrial fibrillation (AF) screening may be an opportunity to prevent adverse events in addition to stroke. The risk of AF was estimated using the FIND-AF (Future Innovations in Novel Detection of Atrial Fibrillation) risk score. to 2.10; 3.45), stroke/transient ischaemic attack (118.9;

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. paroxysmal, and 58.5%
