Substrate Versus Trigger Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Trial ID or NCT#

NCT02169037

Status

not recruiting iconNOT RECRUITING

Purpose

This is a prospective randomized study to assess the safety and efficacy of FIRM (Focal Impulse and Rotor Modulation)-guided ablation for the treatment of symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF). The study hypothesis is that the efficacy of AF elimination at 1 year will be higher by ablating patient-specific AF-sustaining rotors and focal sources by Focal Impulse and Rotor Modulation (FIRM) compared to conventional ablation alone (wide-area PV isolation).
