Figure 8. — Pulsed field ablation (PFA) simulations. A, Basket pose catheter deployment within an inferior vena cava (IVC) model in the preclinical setting, compared with (B) the basket pose deployment in the left atrium (LA) during clinical cases. C, Simulation results demonstrating the field distribution of PFA on the esophagus in the basket pose used in the preclinical model (A). D, For comparison, simulation demonstrating the lower field strength exposure of the esophagus during PFA with the clinical basket pose (note larger overall diameter of the deployed spines).
