Parrish Medical Center Celebrates 100th Pulsed Field Ablation Procedure

TITUSVILLE, FLA. (December 3, 2025)—Parrish Medical Center proudly announces the successful completion of its 100th Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) procedure, marking a major milestone in cardiac care for Brevard County. In March, Parrish Medical Center announced it was the first hospital in the county to introduce PFA, an innovative, non-thermal ablation technology that is transforming the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AFib).

The procedures have been performed by Ajit Janardhan, MD, PhD, a board-certified cardiologist and cardiac electrophysiologist widely recognized for his expertise in heart rhythm disorders. Dr. Janardhan joined Parrish Medical Center in 2022.

Pulsed Field Ablation uses controlled high-voltage electrical pulses to precisely target and disable the abnormal heart tissue responsible for AFib. Unlike traditional thermal ablation methods, PFA significantly reduces the risk of damage to surrounding tissues, making it a safer, faster and more effective option for many patients living with AFib—one of the most common heart rhythm disorders in the United States.

Dr. Janardhan performs these advanced treatments inside Parrish Medical Center’s state-of-the-art Cardiac Electrophysiology Laboratory, which has rapidly become a regional destination for cutting-edge cardiac care.

“Reaching our 100th PFA procedure underscores just how impactful this technology has been for our patients,” said Dr. Janardhan. “Pulsed Field Ablation represents a transformative leap forward in how we treat atrial fibrillation. Its precision and safety profile are truly game-changing, and I am honored to offer this innovative treatment to patients across Brevard County.”

“We are incredibly proud to celebrate this milestone,” said George Mikitarian, President and CEO of Parrish Healthcare. “Dr. Janardhan’s expertise, combined with our dedicated care teams and cutting-edge facility, demonstrates our unwavering commitment to providing world-class, patient-centered care to our community.”
