Ablation for AF using MPSD or HPSD may be a feasible alternative to vHPvSD ablation given similar size lesions with similar total energy delivery (360 J). Lower absolute tissue temperature and slower heating may reduce risk of collateral tissue injury and steam pops associated with vHPvSD and longer applications using moderate power.
