简要总结
An isolation-limited segmental antral approach to pulmonary vein isolation is as effective in achieving long-term freedom from atrial fibrillation as the standard anatomic, circumferential antral ablation.
详细描述
This is a randomized controlled non-inferiority designed trial.
Follow up:
Patients will stop their anti-arrhythmic drugs 2 months post procedure. Follow-ups will involve clinical assessment, holter and/or loop recorders at 3, 6, 9, and 12 month intervals.

入选标准
- •Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAF) for at least 6 months with at least 1 symptomatic episode during the previous 6 moths
- •Patient must be felt to be candidates for Atrial Fibrillation (AF) ablation based on AF that is symptomatic and refractory or intolerant to at least one class 1 or 3 anti-arrhythmic agent
- •Documentation of at least one episode of AF on 12 lead ECG, TTM or Holter monitor within 12 months of randomization in the trial
- •Patient must be on continuous anti-coagulation with warfarin (INR 2-3) or fractionated subcutaneous heparin for >4 weeks prior to the ablation or they have undergone a recent (less than 48 hours before planned ablation) transoesphageal echocardiogram to exclude left atrial thrombus.
- •Patient must provide written informed consent to participate in the clinical trial
排除标准
- •Contraindications to oral anticoagulants
- •History of any previous ablation for AF
- •Intracardiac thrombus
- •AF due to reversible causes
- •Pregnancy
- •atriotomy scar (typically, MV or TV repair/replacement, ASD surgery, transplants)(CABG are okay)

结局指标
主要结局
Freedom from atrial fibrillation
时间窗: six months
Symptomatic atrial fibrillation recurrence (without anti-arrhythmic med's)
次要结局
- Procedure time((4-6) hours From the time patient is draped to the time electrophysiology catheters are removed from the body (same day in the electrophysiology lab))
- Ablation Time((4-6 hours) Measured during the procedure.)
- Fluoroscopy Time((4-6 Hours) Measured during the procedure.)
- complications(6 months)
