PFA ablation safe, effective for treating premature ventricular contractions

Focal pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a safe, effective treatment option for premature ventricular contractions (PVC), according to new data published in Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology.[1]

Voltage map and sites of high-output non-excitability of the right ventricle outflow tract acutely after PFA and 20 minutes afterwards. Bipolar voltage mapping performed with Ensite X system, acquired immediately after (A) and 20 minutes following a single pulse field ablation application (B) targeting the posteroseptal right ventricular outflow tract. After the waiting period, a significant reduction in the low-voltage area was observed, along with a notable shift in high-output, non-excitable sites.

Early data suggest PVC ablation with PFA technology is associated with a high success rate and minimal complications.
