NCT03448562

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this investigation is to compare the efficacy of two different AF ablation strategies in patients with non-paroxysmal AF: CPVI plus electrophysiologic substrate ablation in the left atrium during sinus rhythm (STABLE-SR) and CPVI alone.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Freedom from AF and/or ATs with or without antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs)

    Freedom from AF and/or ATs with or without antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) at 12months after a single-ablation procedure. AF and/or AT occurring in the first 3 months after the ablation (blanking period) was censored. Each episode lasts \> 30 seconds.

    at least 12 months follow up

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Incidence of peri-procedural complications

    1 week after patient enrollment

  • Procedure time

    1 week after patient enrollment

  • Fluoroscopy time

    1 week after patient enrollment

  • Occurrence of the conversion from AF to AT

    at least 12 months follow up

  • Relationship between acute termination of AF and long term outcome

    at least 12 months follow up

  • Patients with left atrial size ≥ 55 mm (2D echocardiography, parasternal long-axis view);
  • Patients with thromboemboli in LA (TEE or MSCT);
  • Patients with severe structural cardiac disease (medium or severe mitral regurgitation, DCM, HCM, or other severe valvular heart diseases);
  • Patients with abnormal thyroid function;
  • Patients with severe liver or renal dysfunction (AST or ALT \> 3-fold of upper limit value; the SCr \> 3.5 mg/dl or Ccr \< 30 ml/min);
