02:06 - 13:53 PFA Safety: The Sphere-9™ Catheter and Affera™ Mapping and Ablation System - Josh Silverstein
13:53 - 23:30 Dual Energy Ablation for the Treatment of AF: Efficiency, Predictability, Cost Effectiveness - Brett Atwater
23:30 - 50:50 Panel Discussion and Q&A - All
Chaired by Josh Silverstein (Pittsburgh, US), this symposium examines how the design of the Sphere-9™ catheter and the Affera™ Mapping and Ablation System impacts pulsed field ablation (PFA) safety, efficiency, and overall procedural performance. Brett Atwater (Fairfax, US) will discuss the application of dual-energy ablation for AF management, focusing on workflow efficiency, procedural predictability, and potential cost-effectiveness when combining radiofrequency and PFA within a single platform.
The faculty are joined by Amin Al-Ahmad (Texas, US) for an interactive panel discussion and audience Q&A where they share real-world clinical experience using PFA technologies, address practical considerations for implementation, and discuss how dual-energy approaches may evolve electrophysiology lab workflows.
