Pediheart Podcast #392: Pulsed Field Ablation For Complex Congenital Heart Atrial Arrhythmia Management

from Pediheart: Pediatric Cardiology Today · host Robert Pass

This week we speak with Dr. Ted O'Leary, Co-Director of Adult Congenital Heart Disease Electrophysiology at Boston Children's Hospital about a recent publication he authored on the use of pulsed field ablation (PFA) for the transcatheter ablation management of complex atrial arrhythmias in ACHD patients. How does PFA work and what are some of the potential advantages and disadvantages of this novel ablation energy technology? What are the advantages of a variable loop catheter in this setting? Is PFA going to supplant radiofrequency current for standard "SVT" ablations one day? These are amongst the questions reviewed with Dr. O'Leary this week. DOI: 10.1161/CIRCEP.125.014619
