Abstract Summary

The Varipulse™ catheter shows promise for complex atrial fibrillation ablation. In this case, after initial pulmonary vein isolation, AF converted to atrial flutter. Using advanced mapping, physicians identified the reentrant circuit and successfully performed linear ablation at the tricuspid isthmus, restoring normal sinus rhythm. This demonstrates the catheter’s reliability and safety for challenging anatomical regions.

Why Brain? 🧠

Novel pulsed-field ablation catheter successfully treats complex atrial fibrillation with linear ablation technique, demonstrating safety and effectiveness in challenging anatomical areas.
