The duty­cycled circular multi­pole catheter PVAC® (Medtronic) allows linear application of radiofrequency energy, with the production of circumferential lesions. Conceptually, it can make ablation simpler and faster in patients with favorable anatomy.engRhythm controlCatheter ablationIsolation of pulmonary veins with duty-cycled circular multi-polar catheter : randomized controlled clinical trialP1402 Isolation of pulmonary veins with duty-cycled circular multi-polar catheter : randomized controlled clinical trialjournal article10.1093/europace/euaa162.0881532-2092
