2023 AF Symposium: Live Case from Dublin using Pulsed Field Ablation and Multispline Catheter
LIVE live from Dublin, Ireland—it was like we were in the EP lab with Drs. Joseph Galvin and Gabor Szeplaki from Mater Private Hospital in Ireland.
They perform 800-900 ablations/year and have done 268 cases of Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) using the Boston Scientific Farapulse system. Amazingly, these ablation average 40 minutes in length—a very short time to perform an ablation (and no complications).
The patient was a 66-year-old woman who had developed symptomatic paroxysmal A-Fib three years ago, medications were poorly tolerated.
The first thing we noticed was, instead of the typical Lead apron shields to protect against Fluoroscopy radiation, they were wearing what looked like plastic vests which were leadless (but did provide radiation protection).
