Mori et al. (2025) conducted a null in Atrial Fibrillation. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) vs. Pulsed-Field Ablation (PFA) was evaluated on Efficacy and safety comparisons between PFA and RFA (null, 95% CI null, p=null). Radiofrequency Ablation continues to play a central role in the management of atrial fibrillation, although Pulsed-Field Ablation is emerging as a non-inferior alternative with faster procedural times and lower complication rates.
