NCT01173796

Brief Summary

This prospective, randomized study aims to compare the impact of ablation of perimitral flutter only versus cardioversion and repeat isolation of pulmonary veins with ablation of additional triggers, on procedure outcome.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with previous AF ablation presenting with PMFL and recurrent AF
  • Age: 18- 75 years
  • Willingness and ability to give written informed consent
  • Therapeutic INR for at least 4 weeks prior to the procedure

You may not qualify if:

  • Reversible causes of AF such as pericarditis and hyperthyroidism
  • Documented intra-atrial thrombus, tumor or any other abnormality which prevents easy catheter manipulation
  • Enrollment in another clinical study
  • Any other terminal illness
