Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) for Heart Rhythm Disorders – a Breakthrough in Cardiac Care: Safe, Effective, and Minimally Invasive

Pulsed Field Ablation – PFA System : A Minimally Invasive Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation

In catheter ablation for cardiac arrhythmias, a new era is emerging with Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA). This non-thermal ablation method treats atrial fibrillation with good durability, faster procedure times and most importantly, it carries a lower risk for surrounding structures compared to traditional methods.

PFA allows for faster procedures, reduces anesthesia time, and eliminates some of the risks associated with traditional ablation.

What is the Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) System?

Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure to treat irregular heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation, by targeting abnormal electrical signals in the heart. Unlike traditional ablation methods (such as thermal ablation), PFA uses short electrical pulses to affect the targeted area without the risk of damaging surrounding tissues.

How Does Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) System Work?

The Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) System generates and delivers electrical pulses. These electrical pulses are delivered to the areas that are responsible for the irregular heartbeats. These electrical pulses are designed to permanently deactivate only the localised heart cells.

A New Standard in Cardiac Ablation

PFA is the next generation of cardiac ablation. Traditional thermal cardiac ablation uses extreme heat or cold to create scar tissue that blocks signals causing abnormal rhythms, but has the potential to damage surrounding tissue in important areas. The PFA procedure offers a new generation of ablation technology approved by the FDA that works differently by using pulses of electrical energy. Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) is a promising method for arrhythmia management due to its improved safety compared to thermal ablation. Unlike the risk of indiscriminate collateral damage caused by thermal energy sources, irreversible electroporation offers the ability to focus ablation on cells involved in atrial or ventricular arrhythmias.

Advantages of Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA):

Protection of surrounding tissues: unlike traditional heat-based ablation techniques, PFA causes less damage to surrounding tissues.

Targeted effect on affected tissue: PFA focuses solely on the areas where abnormal electrical signals originate, providing a more targeted procedure.

Lower risk of complications: the protection of surrounding tissues results in a lower risk of potential complications.

Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) is increasingly preferred as an innovative method for treating heart rhythm disorders.
