Figure 5.
Necropsy findings, enhanced by TTC staining, of targeted pulmonary vein (PV) orifices (proximal) after pulsed field ablation (PFA; circled in black) or irrigated radiofrequency (IRF; circled in white) ablations 12 wk after treatment for 2 different subjects. In the image on the left, the subject’s inferior PVs were treated with PFA (white, circled) and superior PVs were treated with IRF (black, circled). In the image on the right, the subject’s inferior PVs were treated with IRF (black, circled) and superior PVs were treated with PFA (white, circled). Rulers are in cm and mm units.
