#PFA is tissue-selective in pre-clinical studies. However, in clinical trials, there are reports of coronary spasms and reversible phrenic nerve palsy. What would be the mechanism of coronary spasm and PNP with PFA? Amin Al-Ahmad, MD Prash Sanders Andrea Natale MD Heart Rhythm Society

Durability remains a question in PFA, as some clinical studies have shown late recurrence in AF patients. Much to learn about delivery device engineering, intra-procedural endpoints, pulse settings. Exciting time for PFA! ⚡️ 🫀 Amin Al-Ahmad, MD Kamala Tamirisa MD Prash Sanders #EPeeps
