The Lead Episode 169: A Discussion of Radiofrequency Ablation Produces Stiffer Atrial Lesions Than Pulse Field Ablation: In vivo and ex vivo magnetic resonance elastography in pigs

In this episode of The Lead, host Deep Chandh Raja, MBBS, MD, PhD, FHRS, is joined by Kars Neven, MD, PhD, and David Chieng, MBBS, CCDS, to discuss the journal article, Radiofrequency Ablation Produces Stiffer Atrial Lesions Than Pulse Field Ablation: In vivo and ex vivo magnetic resonance elastography in pigs. Together, they discuss the study's comparison of atrial lesions produced by radiofrequency ablation and pulse field ablation using in vivo and ex vivo magnetic resonance elastography in pigs. Learning Objectives Review the study's comparison of atrial lesions produced by radiofrequency ablation and pulse field ablation. Discuss the use of in vivo and ex vivo magnetic resonance elastography to evaluate atrial lesions in pigs. Examine the differences in atrial lesion stiffness observed following radiofrequency and pulse field ablation.
