Pulsed Field Ablation of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: 1-Year Outcomes of IMPULSE, PEFCAT, and PEFCAT II

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Objectives This study sought to determine whether durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using pulsed field ablation (PFA) translates to freedom from atrial fibrillation recurrence without an increase in adverse events. Background PFA is a nonthermal ablative modality that, in preclinical studies, is able to preferentially ablate myocardial tissue with minimal effect on surrounding tissues. Herein, we present 1-year clinical outcomes of PFA. Methods In 3 multicenter studies (IMPULSE [A Safety and Feasibility Study of the IOWA Approach Endocardial Ablation System to Treat Atrial Fibrillation], PEFCAT [A Safety and Feasibility Study of the FARAPULSE Endocardial Ablation System to Treat Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation], and PEFCAT II [Expanded Safety and Feasibility Study of the FARAPULSE Endocardial Multi Ablation System to Treat Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation]), paroxysmal atrial fibrillation patients underwent PVI using a basket or flower PFA catheter. Invasive remapping was performed at ∼2 to 3 months, and reconnected PVs were reisolated with PFA or radiofrequency ablation. After a 90-day blanking period, arrhythmia recurrence was assessed over 1-year follow-up. Results In 121 patients, acute PVI was achieved in 100% of PVs with PFA alone. PV remapping, performed in 110 patients at 93.0 ± 30.1 days, demonstrated durable PVI in 84.8% of PVs (64.5% of patients), and 96.0% of PVs (84.1% of patients) treated with the optimized biphasic energy PFA waveform. Primary adverse events occurred in 2.5% of patients (2 pericardial effusions or tamponade, 1 hematoma); in addition, there was 1 transient ischemic attack. The 1-year Kaplan-Meier estimates for freedom from any atrial arrhythmia for the entire cohort and for the optimized biphasic energy PFA waveform cohort were 78.5 ± 3.8% and 84.5 ± 5.4%, respectively. Conclusions PVI with a “single-shot” PFA catheter results in excellent PVI durability and acceptable safety with a low 1-year rate of atrial arrhythmia recurrence. These data mitigate concern that the nonthermal ablative mechanism of PFA might mask undiscovered compromises to clinical success.
