The author discusses a study by J.-H. Schipper and colleagues which provided an initial overview at head-to-head outcomes of pulsed-field ablation (PFA) versus cryoballoon (CB). Topics include a learning curve with PFA provided in the study, perspective on procedural safety, and assessment of efficacy outcomes associated with PFA.
