Effects of Pulsed-Field Ablation (PFA) and Second-Generation Cryoballoon Ablation on Endothelium Damage in Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: A Single Center Prospective Observational Study
You are already at the latest version Thromboembolic events, though infrequent, remain a significant complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, largely related to endothelial damage. Cryoballoon (CB) and radiofrequency ablation can induce pro-coagulant responses, whereas pulsed-field ablation (PFA), a novel non-thermal electroporation-based technique, has shown tissue selectivity with potential endothelial-sparing effects.
Transforming AF Ablation: How, Where, and When to Choose 3D Mapping Integrated Pentaspline PFA Catheter
Advancements in PFA are transforming AF ablation, offering faster, safer, and more precise workflows, deeper insights into PFA mechanisms and lesion characteristics. This expert-led webinar provides practical guidance on integrating 3D mapping with the Pentaspline PFA catheter, supported by clinical evidence, real-world case studies, and procedural insights.
One‐Year Success Rates of a Stable, Low Pressure Cryoballoon for the Treatment of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: Results of the Prospective, International, Multicenter POLAR ICE Study
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using a cryoballoon is well-established for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). Compared to other available technologies, the usage of a stable, low-pressure cryoballoon (POLARx, Boston Scientific) has demonstrated lower nadir temperatures and longer thawing times. However, 1-year efficacy and safety still needs to be proven.
Acute procedural efficacy and safety of a novel cryoballoon for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: Results from the POLAR ICE study

Pulsed Field Ablation of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: 1-Year Outcomes of IMPULSE, PEFCAT, and PEFCAT II
Abstract Objectives This study sought to determine whether durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using pulsed field ablation (PFA) translates to freedom from atrial fibrillation recurrence without an increase in adverse events. Background PFA is a nonthermal ablative modality that, in preclinical studies, is able to preferentially ablate myocardial tissue with minimal effect on surrounding tissues. Herein, we present 1-year clinical outcomes of PFA.

Pulsed Field Ablation in Patients With Persistent Atrial Fibrillation:
Abstract Background Unlike for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone is considered insufficient for many patients with persistent AF. Adjunctive ablation of the left atrial posterior wall (LAPW) may improve outcomes, but is limited by both the difficulty of achieving lesion durability and concerns of damage to the esophagus—situated behind the LAPW.
