Nota: Se muestra el sistema FARAPULSE™ PFA como ejemplo representativo para la ablación de fibrilación auricular, aunque se pueden utilizar otros modelos.
*En el ensayo OPTION, el cierre de la OAI sucesivo se realizó tras un mínimo de 90 días (como período de exclusión según el protocolo) y dentro de los 6 meses posteriores a la ablación.
†Solo ablación térmica de fibrilación auricular.
