Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a new treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF), and its selective ablation characteristics give it a significant advantage in treatment. In previous cellular and animal experiments, we have demonstrated that biphasic asymmetric pulses can be used to ablate myocardial tissue. However, small-scale clinical trials are needed to test whether this approach is safe and feasible before extensive clinical trials can be performed.
