Ablation of Complex Fractionated Electrograms With or Without Additional Linear Lesions for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

NCT02059369 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 90

Last updated 2017-04-11

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

While there is a consensus to perform pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) as a cornerstone for paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), different additional ablation approaches are used for substrate modification: linear lesions, ablation of complex fractionated atrial electrograms (CFAE) or a combination of both. The aim of this study is to determine whether there is a difference in terms of freedom from arrhythmia recurrence between PVI with CFAE ablation in combination or not with linear lesions in patients with persistent AF.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

PVI+CFAE+DCC

pulmonary vein Isolation (PVI), CFAE for substrate modification and direct current cardioversion (DCC) if AF persists

PROCEDURE

PVI, CFAE, anterior and roof line, DCC

PVI, CFAE ablation. If AF persists linear lesions (anterior and roof line), cardioversion if AF persists
