| Core Tip |
High-power short-duration (HPSD) is the latest development in radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation. HPSD has redefined the RF ablation landscape, offering proven advantages over low-power long-duration RF ablation in both safety and efficacy. However, there are still safety issues related to RF thermal effects. In addition, even when following standardized protocols, HPSD RF ablation remains operator-dependent. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is an innovative, non-thermal ablation technique that employs pulsed electric fields to ablate myocardial tissue selectively, sparing adjacent non-cardiac structures. PFA seems more reproducible, reducing procedural time while maintaining non-inferior efficacy. In the era of PFA, HPSD RF ablation should therefore be viewed not as a technology being replaced, but rather as a mature and efficient strategy that will likely coexist with emerging non-thermal ablation modalities. |
