Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of the study is to compare efficacy and safety of the pulmonary artery denervation procedure combined with atrial fibrillation ablation versus atrial fibrillation ablation alone in patients with paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation and group 2 of the pulmonary hypertension

Intervention

Procedure:
• Pulmonary vein isolation
Circumferential pulmonary vein isolation procedure using 3D navigation systems with entrance and exit block verification
• Sham pulmonary artery denervation
Sham pulmonary artery denervation procedure includes 3D reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract, main, left and right pulmonary arteries with creation of the false ablation points. No true ablation lesions will be performed in the pulmonary artery
• Pulmonary artery denervation
Pulmonary artery denervation procedure includes 3D reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract, main, left and right pulmonary arteries and 3 circles of ablation lesions (bifurcation of the main pulmonary artery, left and right pulmonary arteries)
