{Abstract}: <B>BACKGROUND: </B>Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is a novel nonthermal energy that shows unique features that can be of use beyond pulmonary vein ablation, like tissue selectivity or proximity rather than contact dependency.<BR><B>RESULTS: </B>We report three cases of right focal atrial tachycardias arising from the superior cavoatrial junction and the crista terminalis, in close relationship with the phrenic nerve, effectively ablated using a commercially available PFA catheter designed for pulmonary vein isolation without collateral damage.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>PFA can be useful for treating right atrial tachycardias involving sites near the phrenic nerve, avoiding the need for complex nerve-sparing strategies.
