  • CONCLUSIONS: In this CT-enriched cohort, the incidence of PV stenosis after RF ablation was higher than previously reported symptomatic rates, largely reflecting improved detection of subclinical PV injury. Specific catheter-energy combinations may be associated with severe PV stenosis. These findings suggest that not all high-power strategies are equivalent and that the interaction between the energy delivery profile and catheter technology may influence the risk of clinically significant PV injury. Procedural optimization and risk-adapted imaging follow-up may help mitigate PV-related complications.
