Recent Developments
- In January 2025, Asan Medical Center successfully performed pulsed-field ablation (PFA) for atrial fibrillation. The technique uses high-energy electrical pulses to selectively target abnormal cardiac tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues, supporting the adoption of next-generation AF treatment technologies in South Korea.
- In July 2025, Johnson & Johnson MedTech launched the 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 efficiency, reproducibility, and procedural accuracy in catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
- In November 2025, Asan Medical Center introduced a next-generation 3D pulse-field ablation system for atrial fibrillation. The technology provides real-time 3D visualization of the heart, enabling physicians to precisely identify treatment sites while reducing radiation exposure and improving the safety and precision of the procedure.
- In December 2025, the Korean Journal of Internal Medicine published a review highlighting pulsed-field ablation as an emerging treatment for atrial fibrillation in Korea. The review emphasized PFA’s tissue specificity and potential to minimize collateral damage compared with conventional thermal ablation techniques such as radiofrequency and cryoablation.
