A Comparative Study of Percutaneous Pulsed Field Ablation Guided by Ultrasound Alone Versus Fluoroscopy in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
11 août 2026 mis à jour par: China National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases
This prospective, randomized, multicenter, open-label, non-inferiority interventional study aims to compare the therapeutic efficacy of percutaneous pulsed field ablation (PFA) guided by ultrasound alone versus fluoroscopy in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF).
The success rate of complete electrical isolation of pulmonary veins during the procedure was compared to verify that ultrasound-only guidance is non-inferior to fluoroscopic guidance.

- Previous history of catheter ablation or cardiac surgery for atrial fibrillation;
- Prior surgical history including patent foramen ovale closure, atrial septal defect closure or repair;
- Implantation of left atrial appendage occluder, mechanical mitral valve prosthesis, or valvuloplasty ring containing metallic materials;
- Concomitant other tachyarrhythmias requiring catheter ablation (e.g., atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia, atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, atrial tachycardia, atrial flutter, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, etc.);
- Persistent atrial fibrillation;
- Left atrial anteroposterior diameter (LAD) > 55 mm on transthoracic echocardiography;
