PFA trial Hi Folks, I'm set up with Dr. Natale for an ablation next month. I've been told I'm a candidate to participate in the trial for Pulsed Field Ablation. As I understand it the trial is randomized so even if I sign up I may not get the PFA. What's the current thinking on PFA? Thank you for your help! https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,182725,182725#msg-182725 Sat, 24 Oct 2026 16:56:22 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,182725,182998#msg-182998 Re: PFA trial https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,182725,182998#msg-182998 clinicaltrials.gov]

If you 1) have reason to think Farapulse is a better catheter, or 2) really care more about advancing science than guaranteeing the outcome you want, 3) or if it is a location or provider issue, or 4) aren't really sure which you want and want to leave it up to chance, then I can understand the choice of participating in the randomized study. Good luck in any event!

BTW, 6 month anniversary yesterday - no issues to date.]]> Ralph AFIBBERS FORUM Fri, 29 Oct 2021 20:39:18 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,182725,182980#msg-182980 Re: PFA trial https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,182725,182980#msg-182980 Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Thu, 28 Oct 2021 05:15:29 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,182725,182973#msg-182973 Re: PFA trial https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,182725,182973#msg-182973 Scheduled for ablation on Nov 8.

Here is a search on our site on the topic: [www.afibbers.org]

One of our members is in the trial and has posted updates. The search will pick those up. You could also PM that member and get a more first hand report. So far, my impression from afar is very positive.]]> GeorgeN AFIBBERS FORUM Thu, 07 Oct 2021 21:39:15 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,182725,182731#msg-182731 Re: PFA trial https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,182725,182731#msg-182731 bettylou4488 AFIBBERS FORUM Thu, 07 Oct 2021 21:11:35 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,182725,182729#msg-182729 Re: PFA trial https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,182725,182729#msg-182729 imtbkr AFIBBERS FORUM Thu, 07 Oct 2021 19:23:55 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,182725,182725#msg-182725 PFA trial https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,182725,182725#msg-182725
