Core Tip	Pulsed field ablation (PFA) emphasizes the safety benefits, particularly its reduced risk of complications like esophageal and phrenic nerve damage, compared to traditional thermal ablation methods. PFA demonstrates comparable or superior outcomes in terms of acute success rates for pulmonary vein isolation and procedural efficiency. Address the importance of long-term studies to confirm the durability of PFA lesions, as most current evidence focuses on short- and mid-term results. Note that PFA significantly reduces procedural time and tissue damage, which could lower the risks associated with prolonged surgeries. Stress the importance of comprehensive perioperative care, including preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative monitoring, and postoperative rehabilitation, to maximize PFA’s benefits.
