Dr Amr Nawar (Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Muscat, OM) walks through a concomitant pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and left atrial appendage (LAA) closure procedure in a single 90-minute session — treating the arrhythmia and addressing embolic risk simultaneously.The case centres on a 70-year-old male with atrial fibrillation and a history of two transient ischaemic attacks. Dr Nawar details…

Dr Isabel Deisenhofer joins us to explore how the integration of pulsed field and radiofrequency energy within a single-catheter system is reshaping ablation strategy beyond pulmonary vein isolation.As PFA technology matures, the conversation is shifting from "does it work?" to "how do we use it best?" The emergence of dual-energy platforms — combining the safety profile of PFA with the…

AF Symposium 25 - Safety and effectiveness results show the Volt (Abbott) pulsed field ablation (PFA) system for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is a successful treatment option for paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation patients.Prof Roland Tilz (University Heart Centre Lübeck, Lübeck, DE) joins us onsite at AF Symposium 25 to discuss the findings of balloon-based PFA for PVI. The pre…
