Pulsed-field ablation versus cryoballoon ablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation

Background: Current thermal energy sources such as cryoballoon (Cryo) ablation technology are associated with high rates of reconnected pulmonary veins (PV), especially in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) may represent a more suitable ablation modality f...
