Article Title: Pulsed Field Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: A Novel Technology for Safer and Faster Ablation
doi: 10.3390/biomedicines12102232
Figure Lengend Snippet: Varipulse™ integrated into the CARTO3™ (Biosense Webster, Irvine, CA, USA) mapping system. ( a , b ) The Varipulse™ catheter is moved to create electroanatomical map of the left atrium. The catheter delivers pulsed field ablations (PFA) at precise locations through accurate visualization. The tissue proximity indicator (electrodes bordered in thicker white lines in ( a )) is used to evaluate the contact with the endocardium. Pulsed field tag coloring provides information of the ablation; inter-tag connectors reveal lesion contiguity between electrodes ( c ). Left atrial final voltage map acquired after PFA ( b ).

Article Snippet: Like the Sphere-9™ catheter (and soon the Farawave™ catheter), which can be visualized with a mapping system, this catheter can be visualized with the 3D Carto3 mapping system (Biosense Webster, Irvine, CA, USA) ( ).
