Pulsed field ablation with pulmonary vein and posterior wall isolation was linked to an ischemic stroke caused by suspected left atrial stunning-induced thrombus formation.
1 patient with atrial fibrillation
Pulsed field ablation with pulmonary vein and posterior wall isolation
Ischemic stroke due to left carotid artery occlusionsafety
This case highlights the potential risk of left atrial stunning and subsequent cardioembolic stroke following pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation.
After pulsed field ablation with pulmonary vein and posterior wall isolation, a patient developed ischemic stroke due to left carotid artery occlusion. Pathology of the retrieved thrombus revealed an acute red thrombus, suggesting left atrial stunning-induced thrombus formation.
