Visualization of Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) During PVI With the Second-Generation Pentaspline Catheter: NAVIGATE-PF Phase 1 Results

JACC Clin ElectrophysiolPublished First-in-human feasibility study

Authors' conclusion

The second-generation pentaspline PFA catheter, with dynamic shape visualization and preview of anticipated electric field, resulted in alignment with postablation voltage mapping.
