NCT01761188

Brief Summary

  • Background:the ablation outcomes for the treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation are not as satisfactory as paroxsymal AF. The successful rate ranges from 30%-55%. We found a new novel strategy for the modification of LA substrate during sinus rhythm based on our pilot study.
  • Hypothesis: our new method may be more effective than conventional strategy.
  • Objectives:The primary objective of this investigation is to compare the efficacy of two different AF ablation strategies in patients with persistent AF:Study Group: CPVI plus electrophysiologic substrate ablation in the left atrium during sinus rhythm ( STABLE-SR);Control Group: conventional stepwise approach for persistent AF(CPVI + Lines +CFE) .The secondary objectives of this investigation are to evaluate and compare the safety and procedural characteristics of both groups.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Freedom from AF and/or atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATs) off antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs).

    AF and/or AT occurring in the first 3 months after the ablation (blanking period) were censored.Beyond this, any symptomatic or asymptomatic AF or AT episode that lasted for more than 30 seconds was categorized as a recurrence.

    1 year after a single-ablation procedure

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • total procedure time

    1 year

  • fluoroscopy time

    1 year

  • complications

    1 year

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

You may qualify if:

  • Patients undergoing a first-time ablation procedure for AF;
  • Patients with persistent or long-lasting AF; Persistent AF will be defined as a sustained episode lasting \> 7 days and less than 1 years; Long-lasting persistent AF will be more than 1 year and less than 5 years.
  • Patients must be willing and able to comply with all peri-ablation and follow-up requirements.
  • Patients with atrial fibrillation will to accept the procedure of ablation.
  • Patients signed the written informed consent for the study.
  • Patients can endure the required follow up.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with paroxysmal AF; Paroxysmal AF will be defined as a sustained episode lasting \< 7days.
  • Patients with contraindications to systemic anticoagulation with heparin or coumadin or a direct thrombin inhibitor.
  • Patients with thromboemboli in LAA.
  • Patients with left atrial size ≥ 55 mm (2D echocardiography, parasternal long-axis view).
  • Patients allergic for contrast or iodine.
  • Patients with the SCr \>3.5mg/dl or Ccr \< 30 ml/min
  • Patients with life expectancy \< 12 months
  • Patients who are in the period of pregnant
