Pulsed Field Ablation Noninferior to Cryoablation For Paroxysmal AFib – American College of Cardiology
Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is noninferior to cryoablation for the incidence of a first recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib), according to results from the SINGLE SHOT CHAMPION trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Tobias Reichlin, MD, et al., randomly assigned 210 patients with symptomatic paroxysmal AFib (mean age of 64 years, 28% women) to undergo PFA (n=105) or cryoablation (n=105) from September 2022 to November 2023 at two
