Post pulsed field ablation

If this procedure is in the future for me, I'm curious to know from those few folks who have had this new kind ablation if the recovery time or "blanking period" is shorter than after the what it has been after the more established ablation techniques.

And other else you care to share about your experience and results of having had this "electroporation" ablation.

Thank you, Racquet

I'd be interested to hear if it were any different as scar tissue is scar tissue and forms at the same rate regardless of how it is produced.

Still transmural (through the surface and 3-5mm deep) scarring/lesions so my guess similar recovery period.

The thing is with pulsed field ablation the areas "zapped" are much more specific to the cells causing the problem. There's far less co-lateral damage is what I've read.
