Part 3: Latest Ways to Treat Irregular Heartbeat (AF) Dr. Bharath Raj Banavalikar | ACCC’25 Day 1

In this concluding session of the series on atrial fibrillation (AF) management, Dr. Bharath Raj Banavalikar, Cardiac Electrophysiologist, provides a detailed overview of procedural outcomes and emerging technologies in AF ablation.

He illustrates cryoablation outcomes with voltage maps showing successful pulmonary vein isolation and highlights unique advantages like cryoadhesion, which provides intrinsic catheter stability during the procedure. The technique also allows reversible cryomapping at –30°C to assess safety near critical structures before full ablation, making it safer and more tolerable for patients.

Dr. Banavalikar then shifts focus to Pulse Field Ablation (PFA)—the latest non-thermal ablation technique that selectively targets cardiac cells through electroporation, preserving surrounding tissues like the esophagus and phrenic nerve. He discusses the evolving catheter designs, such as flower- and basket-shaped PFA catheters, and highlights findings from the ADVANT trial that demonstrate PFA’s non-inferiority to traditional thermal methods, with significantly improved safety. PFA is expected to revolutionize AF treatment globally and in India in the near future.

Part 1 and Part 2 of this session are already live—watch them to complete the full learning journey.
