Does a standardized balloon-in-basket pulsed field ablation (BiB-PFA) workflow enable efficient and safe pulmonary vein isolation?
A standardized balloon-in-basket pulsed field ablation workflow for PVI is safe and demonstrates a learning curve with decreasing procedure times during early operator experience.
J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f performed in 35% of patients using a median of 5 applications.No major intraprocedural complication occurred.Mean procedure duration decreased from 50.0 38.0; 60.5 min in the first 10 cases to 34.5 31.5; 52.0 min in the last 10 cases (p = 0.059). ConclusionA standardized BiB-PFA workflow enables efficient, safe, and reproducible PVI with optional PWA and can be rapidly implemented during early operator experience.
