Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is a novel technology for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation that can deliver energy precisely with a lower risk of damage to the surrounding organs. Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a congenital variant that can act as a driver of AF, and its isolation may be required in recurrent persistent AF. We describe a case where PFA was used for isolation of the right superior vena cava, PLSVC, and posterior wall of the left atrium.
脉冲场消融(PFA)是一种用于心房颤动(AF)消融的新技术,它能够精确地传递能量,同时降低对周围器官造成损伤的风险。永存左上腔静脉(PLSVC)是一种先天性变异,可成为房颤的驱动因素,在复发性持续性房颤中可能需要对其进行隔离。我们描述了一例使用PFA对右上腔静脉、PLSVC和左心房后壁进行隔离的病例。
