Author(s): Enrico Ferro Added: 5 days ago
HRS 2026 – Dr Enrico Ferro (Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA) returns to discuss findings from a large single-centre comparative safety analysis of pulsed field ablation (PFA) versus radiofrequency (RF) ablation for atrial fibrillation, originally presented at EHRA 2026 in Paris as a Young Investigator Award submission.Conducted at one of the highest-volume PVI centres in the US,… View more

EHRA Congress 2026 — Dr Francesco Santoro (University of Foggia, Foggia, IT) joins us to explore how electrophysiologists can approach risk assessment and decision-making when considering catheter ablation in high-risk ventricular tachycardia patients — a population where the potential benefits of ablation must be carefully weighed against procedural complexity and patient frailty.Interview… View more

EHRA 2026 — Dr David Schaack (CCB am Markus Hospital, Frankfurt am Main, Germany) joins us to discuss findings from the ULYSSES trial, evaluating whether ultrasound-guided venous puncture reduces access site complications in patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation.This investigator-initiated, prospective, randomised multicentre trial enrolled 1,075 patients with AF or left atrial… View more

Dr Melanie Gunawardene joins us to examine whether integrated mapping and ablation technology is ready to redefine how we approach atrial fibrillation ablation in the modern EP lab.The Sphere-9 catheter and Affera mapping system represent a significant step toward consolidating what has traditionally required multiple tools into a single-catheter workflow — combining high-density mapping with PFA… View more

EHRA Congress 2026 – Prof Roland Tilz (University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Lübeck, DE) presents the findings from the TiFFANY-AF study, a retrospective observational analysis evaluating real-world mortality outcomes associated with pulsed field ablation compared with thermal ablation techniques — radiofrequency and cryoballoon — for atrial fibrillation.Drawing on a decade of data from the US… View more

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… View more
