I am a 72 year old male and had a pulsed field ablation (PFA) in February of '25 due to ongoing paroxysmal Afib. My trigger was small quantities of lite beer. I could have had the heat or freezing ablation procedures earlier, but everyone I spoke with told me to wait for the PFA. So glad I did. Absolutely no pain or discomfort. I had to lay flat and still for 6 hours after the procedure, which I believe is normal protocol, and remained in the hospital overnight. Procedure was roughly 2 hours. I was under general anesthesia. Catheters went up through an artery in the groin area. Next day I was up and walking normally. Happy to report I have not had an Afib episode since (going on 15 months). Only drink a couple of non-alcoholic beers now as well. Good luck. I hope your experience with the PFA is as successful as mine has been. Just make sure your EP has done several in the past. Mine, at the time, had done roughly 30.
