Recent Developments

• In December 2024, Asan Medical Center successfully performed pulsed-field ablation (PFA) for atrial fibrillation, following South Korea’s recognition of PFA as a new medical technology. The technology enables targeted treatment of abnormal cardiac tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues, supporting the adoption of next-generation AF treatment in South Korea.
• In July 2025, Johnson & Johnson MedTech launched its VARIPULSE™ Platform across the Asia-Pacific region, with the platform approved for use in Korea. The PFA system integrates with the CARTO™ 3 electroanatomical mapping system to improve procedural efficiency, reproducibility, and accuracy in atrial fibrillation catheter ablation.
• In June 2025, researchers from the Korean Cryoballoon Ablation Registry published findings on cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The study highlighted the continued development and clinical use of cryoballoon ablation as an important treatment option for AF patients with complex cardiac conditions.
• In September 2025, researchers from Samsung Medical Center and other Korean institutions published a comparative study of Polar X and Arctic Front cryoballoon systems for persistent atrial fibrillation, reflecting continued advancements in cryoballoon-based ablation technologies in South Korea.
