Abstract
Pulsed field ablation (PFA) using high‐voltage electrical energy is a novel and powerful ablation modality. However, PFA as a first‐line rhythm control in atrial fibrillation (AF) has been rarely described; whether PFA interacts with the pacemaker (PM) has been seldom reported. We reported PFA of AF in a patient with PM who needed effective rhythm control. Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) was successfully performed without complication, and the procedure was extremely fast (skin‐to‐skin 25 min.) with short fluoroscopic time (3.9 min). PFA had no influence on the PM function. Six months' follow‐up showed good clinical outcome and significantly decreased AF burden. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
