Clinical Outcomes by Sex After Pulsed Field Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Previous studies evaluating the association of patient sex with clinical outcomes using conventional thermal ablative modalities for atrial fibrillation (AF) such as radiofrequency or cryoablation are controversial due to mixed results. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel AF ablation energy modality that has demonstrated preferential myocardial tissue ablation with a unique safety profile.

Objective

To compare sex differences in patients undergoing PFA for AF in the Multinational Survey on the Methods, Efficacy, and Safety on the Postapproval Clinical Use of Pulsed Field Ablation (MANIFEST-PF) registry.

Design, setting, and participants

This was a retrospective cohort study of MANIFEST-PF registry data, which included consecutive patients undergoing post
