Summary

The purpose of the current study is to assess differences regarding the acute efficacy, safety, procedural duration, radiation exposure and long-term success of the novel AFA-Pro in combination of an individualized shortened ablation protocol containing a reduced freezing time to the standard approach of a fixed ablation protocol in patients with symptomatic PAF.

Conditions

  • Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Catheter ablation

Electrophysiology studies are performed during conscious sedation using boluses of midazolam and fentanyl and a continuous infusion of propofol. Vital parameters are continuously monitored. One 7F standard diagnostic catheter is positioned inside the coronary sinus (CS) via the femoral vein. One 8,5-F sheath is advanced to the left atrium (LA). After transseptal catheterization, intravenous heparin is administered to target an activated clotting time of ≥300 seconds. PV angiographies are obtained for each PV and PV recordings are registered at baseline in SR. The 8.5F transseptal sheath (TS) is changed over the wire for a 12F steerable TS.
