Findings from repeat ablation using high-density mapping after pulmonary vein isolation with pulsed field ablation

Shota Tohoku et al.

Summary: Pulsed-field ablation can effectively reduce the risk of pulmonary vein reconnection during atrial fibrillation ablation. However, macro-reentrant atrial tachycardia with a critical isthmus linked to the pulmonary vein isolation lesion set is frequently observed.

Effect of Catheter Ablation Using Pulmonary Vein Isolation With vs Without Posterior Left Atrial Wall Isolation on Atrial Arrhythmia Recurrence in Patients With Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: The CAPLA Randomized Clinical Trial

Peter M. Kistler et al.

Summary: This randomized clinical trial compares pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) vs PVI with posterior wall isolation for achieving freedom from atrial arrhythmia in adult patients with persistent atrial fibrillation undergoing first-time catheter ablation in Australia, the UK, and Canada. The study findings suggest that adding posterior wall isolation to PVI does not significantly improve freedom from atrial arrhythmias in patients with persistent AF. Therefore, the empirical inclusion of posterior wall isolation for ablation of persistent AF may not be supported.

Summary: PFA can effectively penetrate ischemic and iatrogenic scar tissue to create deep lesions. Gated delivery eliminates the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias observed with ungated porcine PFA. Optimized magnetic resonance imaging sequences can be helpful in detecting lesion boundaries.

Safety and Effectiveness of Adjunctive Posterior Wall Isolation in Atrial Fibrillation Patients: An Updated Meta

Sahib Singh et al.

Summary: In patients with atrial fibrillation, adding posterior wall isolation to pulmonary vein isolation can reduce the recurrence rate of atrial fibrillation without increasing adverse events or affecting other atrial arrhythmias, although it may lead to a nonsignificant increase in atrial flutter/atrial tachycardia recurrence.

Pulsed-field ablation combined with ultrahigh-density mapping in patients undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation: Practical and electrophysiological considerations

Melanie A. Gunawardene et al.

Summary: For the first time, this study demonstrates the use of ultrahigh-density mapping to illustrate the effects of pulsed-field ablation (PFA) in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). The results show that PFA can create wide lesions and effectively isolate the left atrial posterior wall, reducing tissue voltage to a minimum. However, early PV reconnection can still occur.

Emmanuel Ekanem et al.

Summary: This study investigated the real-world performance of the approved PFA catheter in a large cohort of unselected patients and found that PFA was effective for treating atrial fibrillation with a safety profile consistent with preferential tissue ablation. However, the occurrence of generic catheter complications highlights the need for continuous improvement in efficacy and safety.

Rene Worck et al.

Summary: This study investigated the feasibility and efficacy of index-procedure PVI + PWI radio frequency ablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation. The results showed that achieving PWI during the index procedure had a positive impact on the efficacy, although the durability of PWI was limited.

Effect of MRI-Guided Fibrosis Ablation vs Conventional Catheter Ablation on Atrial Arrhythmia Recurrence in Patients With Persistent Atrial Fibrillation The DECAAF II Randomized Clinical Trial

Nassir F. Marrouche et al.

Summary: Among patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, MRI-guided fibrosis ablation in addition to PVI did not show significant reduction in atrial arrhythmia recurrence compared to PVI catheter ablation alone. The findings do not support the use of MRI-guided fibrosis ablation for the treatment of persistent AF.

Summary: This study evaluated the role of adjunctive left atrium posterior wall isolation (PWI) in preventing atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence. The results showed that adjunctive PWI significantly reduced the recurrence of all atrial arrhythmias and AF, especially in patients with older age, larger left atrial diameter, and persistent AF.

Summary: In a meta-analysis of head-to-head comparison studies, it was found that FIRM-guided ablation with or without PVI did not provide any benefit in improving all-atrial arrhythmia recurrence at follow-up compared to PVI alone. There was no significant difference in complication rates between the two groups.
