Clinical Trial: A Comparison of Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) vs Cryoablation for Atrial Fibrillation Under Deep Sedation

U.S., Oct. 29 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07900685) titled 'A Comparison of Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) vs Cryoablation for Atrial Fibrillation Under Deep Sedation' on Oct. 16.

Brief Summary: Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) has created a 'paradigm shift' within cardiac electrophysiology and the initial experience demonstrates that PFA is safe, rapid and effective compared to both radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation in atrial fibrillation (AF). Presently, AF ablation procedures in the UK using PFA are routinely performed using general anaesthetic (GA) support requiring an anaesthetist and ODP being present in all procedures. This need significantly limits the ability to use PFA technology to...
