Impact Of Different Ablation Approaches on Outcome In Coexistent Atrial Fibrillation and Flutter

Completed · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Atrial Arrhythmia, Quality of Life

In brief

This prospective, multi-center, single blinded study aims to compare the influence of two different catheter ablation strategies, on long-term ablation outcome in terms of AF recurrence and quality of life (QoL) in patients presenting with coexistent AF and AFL. The two strategies to be evaluated are 1) the ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) with or without flutter (AFL) ablation (AF ± AFL) versus 2) AFL ablation alone.
