Pulsed Field Ablation

Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) is a novel, non-thermal ablation method used to treat atrial fibrillation (AF). 

Unlike traditional thermal ablation techniques such as radiofrequency or cryoablation that uses heat or freezing, PFA employs electroporation - a tissue-selective technique that uses brief electrical pulses to create "holes" in the myocardial cell membranes of the heart muscle to destroy abnormal heart tissue.
