Long-Standing Persistant Atrial Fibrillation-Pulmonary Vein Isolation With or Without Ablation

Ablation at St. Georg Hospital for Long-Standing Persistent Atrial Fibrillation - Pulmonary Vein Isolation With or Without Ablation of Complex Fragmented Atrial Potentials

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 124 (actual)
• Sponsor: Asklepios proresearch · Industry

Summary

The chronic success rate, defined as freedom from any atrial tachyarrhythmias will increase from 35% to 60% by ablation of complex fragmented atrial electrograms potentials in addition to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) as compared to PVI alone in patients with long-standing persistent AF.

Conditions

• Atrial Fibrillation
• Tachycardia

Interventions
