Episode: The Lead Episode 138: A Discussion of Safety, Efficacy, and Mid-Term Outcomes of Pulsed Field Ablation for Cavotricuspid Isthmus–Dependent Flutter: Real-World Data From a Major Health System Registry
Description: Join Digital Education Committee member and podcast host Deep Chandh Raja, MBBS, MD, PhD, along with this week's guest contributors, Senthil Thambidorai, MD, FHRS  and Lee Karl Thien, MD, CCDS for this week's episode. This real-world registry study evaluated the safety, feasibility, and mid-term outcomes of pulsed field ablation (PFA) for cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI)–dependent atrial flutter. Acute bidirectional CTI block was achieved in nearly all patients, with a low complication rate and high freedom from recurrent flutter at mid-term follow-up. The findings suggest that PFA is an effective non-thermal alternative for typical atrial flutter ablation, though lon...
