Tissue-selective ablation.
Unlike thermal energy applications, the FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System uses a proprietary waveform to ablate cardiomyocytes which have a higher susceptibility to electric field exposure than surrounding tissues — despite exposure to the field.²

Proven procedural prescription for successful PVI.
Pulsed field ablation is highly parameter-dependent, and slight variations in polarity, waveform, catheter electrodes, pulse characteristics, or applications can be the difference between acute or chronic success⁴. The FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System was optimised through years of iterations to define and validate the dose with catheter, waveform, and application sequence.

All three cohorts showed 100% acute PVs isolated, though lesion durability varied significantly at remap (~3 months). Acute isolation alone is not enough to assure durable lesions — remapping data validates the FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System’s optimal dosing and applications for long-term success.¹

I would strongly recommend having PFA in the EP toolbox."
