The Lead Episode 102: A Discussion of Repeat Procedures after Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation, the MANIFEST-REDO Study-The Lead Episode 102 (video)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this episode of The LEAD, Mike Lloyd discusses a study on repeat procedures after pulse field ablation for AFib with Drs. Antti Anic and Konstantinos Vlachos. The study, involving 24 centers, explores variations in outcomes based on procedural strategies and the operator's experience using TheraPulse. Findings indicate high reconnection rates, suggesting a learning curve with the technology and varied operator expertise. Despite the setbacks, Antti sees potential in PFA, particularly when combined with imaging. Kostas highlights the need for careful technique and the potential for PFA to replace radiofrequency in some ablation scenarios.
