Pulsed-Field vs Thermal Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Background
Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) may be beneficial for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
Objectives
The goal of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of PFA and thermal ablation in patients with HCM and AF.
Methods
From 2016 to 2024, patients with HCM undergoing a first AF ablation using PFA or thermal ablation (cryoballoon or radiofrequency) were retrospectively included from 3 French and Swiss centers. Freedom from atrial arrhythmia (AA) recurrence at the 12-month follow-up was assessed.
Results
Overall, 109 patients (median age 60 years; 68% male; 43% paroxysmal AF) with HCM underwent PFA (n = 58) or thermal ablation (n = 51) of AF. In addition to pulmonary vein (PV) isolation, extra-PV ablation was performed in 62% of PFA cases and in 18% of thermal cases. PFA was associated with shorter median procedure times than thermal ablation (81 minutes [Q1-Q3: 60-110 minutes] vs 132 minutes [Q1-Q3: 75-190 minutes]; P < 0.0001) and with less postprocedural heart failure (n = 0 vs n = 4; P = 0.03). Freedom from AA recurrence was 57% (95% CI: 46%-67%) after 12 months. PFA was associated with less AA recurrence than thermal ablation (adjusted HR: 0.46; 95% CI: 0.23-0.91; P = 0.03). Extra-PV ablation was associated with more sustained AA recurrence with thermal ablation (HR: 3.07; 95% CI: 1.21-7.82; P = 0.02) but not with PFA (HR: 1.07; 95% CI: 0.35-3.27; P = 0.91).
Conclusions
In patients with HCM and AF, PFA seems to be associated with better safety and efficacy outcomes than thermal ablation.

JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology is one of a family of specialist journals launched by the renowned Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). It encompasses all aspects of the epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Submissions of original research and state-of-the-art reviews from cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, neurology, outcomes research, and related fields are encouraged. Experimental and preclinical work that directly relates to diagnostic or therapeutic interventions are also encouraged. In general, case reports will not be considered for publication.
