Durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is considered the "Achilles' heel" of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. While pulsed field ablation (PFA) is increasingly utilized due to its non-thermal, tissue-selective properties, comparative data regarding chronic lesion durability across different PFA platforms remain limited.
