Cost, efficiency, and outcomes of pulsed field ablation vs thermal ablation for atrial fibrillation: A real-world study

Abstract

In this contemporary real-world study of the 3 major AF ablation modalities used concurrently, PFA had shorter skin-to-skin and catheter laboratory times than did CB and RF, with similarly low rates of complications. However, PFA procedures were considerably more expensive, largely because of higher equipment cost.
