Interesting. Here is a paragraph that got my attention though:

Those initial studies showed, however, that among patients who returned for repeat ablation due to symptomatic recurrences, the rate of renewed pulmonary vein conduction was “unexpectedly high,” raising questions about the durability of the ablations, Sørensen said.

That is referring to PFA.

Oh, oh!! We'll keep a close eye on this artefact. It would be a huge disappointment to all concerned if this turns out to be the case.
