ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is a novel nonthermal energy that shows unique features that can be of use beyond pulmonary vein ablation, like tissue selectivity or proximity rather than contact dependency. METHODS ANDRESULTS:
We report three cases of right focal atrial tachycardias arising from the superior cavoatrial junction and the crista terminalis, in close relationship with the phrenic nerve, effectively ablated using a commercially available PFA catheter designed for pulmonary vein isolation without collateral damage.CONCLUSION:
PFA can be useful for treating right atrial tachycardias involving sites near the phrenic nerve, avoiding the need for complex nerve-sparing strategies.
