Sponsor's own description

Since a new method called pulsed-field ablation (PFA) has emerged, allowing significantly simpler, safer, and faster creation of ablative lesions in paroxysmal AF and PsAF (13), redefining the "optimal" ablation approach started to appear mandatory. Our project (The PIVCO study) aims to determine a more standardized procedure representing optimal ablation strategy for patients suffering from PsAF using PFA and multielectrode ablation catheters. The central hypothesis is that ablation of the posterior LA wall (PWI), together with mitral and cavotricuspid isthmus ablation added on top of PVI, will be associated with better effects in terms of rhythm control. Given the speed, safety, and ease of standardization of ablation using electroporation, a demonstration of the superiority of either approach could significantly impact the current standard of clinical care.
