Session 1.1 – Live Case & Discussion: PFA & Mapping: Techniques & Tips

In the opening plenary session of Rhythm Interventions Online 2025, the focus is on PFA & Mapping: Techniques & Tips, with a live AF ablation case from Domenico Della Rocca and Antonio Sorgente (University Hospital, Brussels, Belgium). Session moderator Devi Nair (Jonesboro, US) is joined by an expert panel featuring Serge Boveda (Toulouse, France), Claire Martin (Cambridge, UK) and Christian Sohns (Bad Oeynhausen, Germany). The case focuses on procedural strategy in an 80-year-old patient with persistent AF, reduced LV function and a markedly enlarged left atrium. Using the Faraview mapping platform and 31 mm Farawave catheter, the operators demonstrate a systematic approach to pulmonary vein isolation and posterior wall ablation without pre-procedural CT. Key learning points include tailored antral mapping, lesion placement based on reconnection patterns, managing vagal reactions, optimising contact to reduce haemolysis risk and the role of mapping overlays to minimise unnecessary applications. The faculty debate broader considerations around PFA adoption, substrate mapping, imaging requirements and durability of linear lesions, offering practical take-aways for real-world workflows.
