Pulsed-Field Ablation in Management of Ventricular Tachycardia: A Systematic Review of Case Reports and Clinical Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is a cutting-edge technique that employs non-thermal energy to cause cell death by inducing irreversible electroporation of cell membranes. This systematic review evaluates the PFA effectiveness as a potential alternative to radiofrequency and cryo-ablation for treating ventricular tachycardia.

Methods

PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science were systematically searched using keywords related to ventricular tachycardia and pulsed-field ablation. Eligible Studies evaluating this therapeutic approach for ventricular tachycardia were included in the final analysis.

Results

We included six studies (five case reports and one case series) in our systematic review. Eight (88.8%) of procedures were successful with 100% long-term effic
