This month, the Electrophysiology (EP) team at our Dublin hospital celebrated a very significant milestone. Over 1,000 procedures using Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) with Farapulse from Boston Scientific have now been performed in our cardiac cath labs by Prof. Gábor Széplaki and the EP team. PFA is a treatment option for patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib), a type of arrhythmia characterised by an irregular, fast heart rhythm. The Atrial Fibrillation Institute at Mater Private Network was established in 2020, and since then, has grown to be the largest group of EP consultants in Ireland, treating approximately 40% of the country’s atrial fibrillation patients. Speaking about this achievement, Prof. Gábor Széplaki, Head of Electrophysiology, says “I am very proud that the EP team is leading out on delivering the most advanced AFib ablation techniques for patients across Ireland, and thankful to the team at Boston Scientific for their continued collaboration”.
