PFA for Atrial Flutter: ADVANTAGE AF Substudy Results
Added: 4 days ago Source:  Arrhythmia Academy
A substudy of the ADVANTAGE AF trial has demonstrated that for treating typical atrial flutter (AFL), pulsed field ablation (PFA) is as effective and safe as conventional radiofrequency ablation (RFA), but significantly more efficient.¹ The study focused on adjunctive cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation, a common procedure performed during atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation.Mechanism of ActionPFA… View more
