Pulmonary Vein (PV) Imaging by Intracardiac Echography (ICE) After Ablation

Phase 4
Recruiting
Conditions
Atrial Fibrillation Recurrent
Registration Number
NCT05781282
Lead Sponsor
Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS
Brief Summary

To test the hypothesis that structural changes documented by ICE after pulmonary vein deconnection by RF can predict AF recurrences

Detailed Description

Patient undergoing first RF ablation for sympomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation will be enrolled. ICE visualization of PV antra before and after PV deconnection (electrophysiological endpoint). Changes in echogenicity as documented by ICE will be evaluated by a dedicated software and correlated to long term recurrences
