【心臟科服務】 脈衝場消融術 (PFA)

【脈衝場消融術 (PFA) 】
心房顫動(房顫)令人「心亂如麻」，心跳節奏混亂之餘，更有機會在心臟內形成血栓，增加中風及心臟衰竭風險。除了服用藥物，傳統可透過肺靜脈阻隔術(俗稱消融術)，預防房顫復發，卻有併發症風險。新近引入香港的「脈衝場消融術」(PFA) ，令房顫治療出現突破，這種新技術有助大減併發症風險，亦把手術時間縮短超過一半。對於約佔本港人口1%、約七萬多名房顫患者而言，脈衝場消融術是其中一個治療新希望。

【Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) 】
Atrial fibrillation (AF) can be unsettling. The condition not only causes an irregular heart rhythm, but can also lead to blood clot formation in the heart, resulting in a higher risk of stroke and heart failure. Apart from using medication, AF recurrence is traditionally prevented through a procedure known as ablation, though this method carries risk of complications. Pulsed field ablation (PFS), a groundbreaking treatment newly introduced in Hong Kong, significantly reduces the risk of complications and shortens surgery time by more than half. For the over 70,000 AF patients in Hong Kong (approximately 1% of the total population), PFA offers renewed hope for an alternative, improved treatment method.
