简要总结
A randomised controlled trial to assess the efficacy of staged hybrid ablation when compared with standard catheter ablation in patients with non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) and Heart Failure
详细描述
The objective of this randomized study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Convergent hybrid ablation when compared to standard catheter ablation in patients with non-paroxysmal AF and heart failure.
Patients will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio. The primary efficacy endpoint will be freedom from persistent atrial arrhythmia (measured from the end of a 3-month blanking period up to 24 months (12 and 24 months).

结局指标
主要结局
Freedom from persistent atrial arrhythmia after a single procedure (either the completed hybrid ablation or catheter ablation) off Class I or III medications
时间窗: Measured from the end of a 3-month blanking period at 12 and 24 months
Recurrence of persistent atrial arrhythmia during follow-up months).
次要结局
- Safety Endpoint(Measured as early (within 30- days) and late (> 30 days) after each procedure or part of procedure)
- Freedom from any atrial arrhythmia lasting > 30 seconds after a single completed procedure on class I/III medications(Measured from the end of a 3- month blanking period at 12 and 24 months)
- Freedom from atrial arrhythmias after any redo procedures (on or off class I or III medications)(Measured from the end of a 3- month blanking period at 12 and 24 months)
- To assess left ventricular structural remodelling and change in ventricular function in response to either procedure(Pre-procedure and at 12 and 24 months post-procedure)
- To evaluate the effects of the interventions on the patient's symptoms and quality of life (EHRA Score)(Pre-procedure and at 12 and 24 months post-procedure)
- To evaluate the effects of the interventions on the patient's symptoms and quality of life (NYHA Class).(Pre-procedure and at 12 and 24 months post-procedure)
- To evaluate the effects of the interventions on the patient's quality of life (EQ5D)(Pre-procedure and at 12 and 24 months post-procedure)
- To evaluate the effects of the interventions on the patient's quality of life (AFEQT)(Pre-procedure and at 12 and 24 months post-procedure)
- To assess left atrial remodelling in response to either technique.(Pre-procedure and up to 12 and 24 months post-procedure)
