How a Years Worth of Experience of PFA for AF has Revolutionized My Practice
Guest: Christopher DeSimone, M.D., Ph.D.
Guest: Abhishek Deshmukh, M.B.B.S.
Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D.
Patients most commonly have undergone traditional catheter ablation for AF via a thermal energy source. A newer energy modality is called Pulsed Field Ablation – using very high energy pulsation of strong voltages to destroy tissue responsible for AF. At Mayo Clinic, we have significant expertise in using this technology for our patients. This has changed our ablation practice, approach to ablation, and has made a tremendous impact on AF management.
Topics Discussed:
- How has the implementation of PFA for AFib changed your practice?
- What are some of the benefits of offering patients PFA?
- How has experience with this technology reflected your ablation approach?
- Where is the field of PFA heading to next for AFib?
