Pulsed Field Ablation for the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation
Manage episode 451174385 series 1265341

A new type of catheter ablation called pulsed field ablation (PA) allows for a more precise and non-heated way to treat many cases of atrial fibrillation (A-fib). Tom McElderry, M.D., discusses the advantages of PA ablation as an alternative to radio frequency and cryotherapy ablation, the most common types. Dr. McElderry was involved with clinical trials which demonstrated that PA was faster and eliminated the risk of both phrenic nerve injury and esophageal fistula. Learn more about what this technique means for the future of A-fib treatment.
