Post-cardiac injury syndrome following pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation in a patient with low body mass

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Pulse Field Ablation (PFA) has rapidly become a widely adopted approach to ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), in large part due to its improved safety profile relative to thermal ablation. However, the spectrum of adverse effects attributable to this emerging technology remains incompletely understood, and unexpected complications require ongoing reporting.
