Efficacy, safety, and strategy-modifying factors of pulsed field ablation for persistent and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is increasingly applied in persistent atrial fibrillation (PerAF) and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (LSPAF). Previous reviews of mixed AF populations suggested potential advantages in procedural efficiency and esophageal safety, but PerAF/LSPAF-specific evidence on...
