Filter by:This study will be a single blind prospective randomised control trial in patients undergoing ablation for the treatment of typical atrial flutter, with the aim of investigating the benefit of a new impedance-based computer software application which measures tissue contact between the ablation catheter and the inside of the heart. The investigators hope to demonstrate that the use of this tissue contact information reduces ablation time, Xray time, and procedure time required to complete the procedure successfully. Study participants will be randomly assigned to undergo their procedure with or without this contact data displayed for the doctor performing the ablation to see. The acute procedural endpoint of ablation is successful conduction block across the cavotricuspid isthmus of the right atrium. If the outcome of this study is positive, it will have a significant beneficial impact on this procedure, reducing procedure length, patient discomfort, and potentially reducing risk for the patient, recurrent arrythmia symptoms, and the need for repeat procedures later on.
The investigators hypothesized that revealing the incidence of AF following RFA of the CTI and cryoablation PVI reduces incidence of AF following RFA of the CTI.
- Background: Atrial fibrillation is frequently associated with typical atrial flutter in clinical practice. If the radical treatment of atrial flutter by radiofrequency catheter is achieved in most cases without recurrence, it does not prevent the occurrence of atrial fibrillation that occurs in about 70% of these patients after several years of follow-up. However, the latter arrhythmia is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The problem of atrial fibrillation occurrence after successful ablation of typical atrial flutter remains physicians primary concern in monitoring these patients. - Objectives: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the pulmonary veins isolation using balloon cryotherapy technology performed at the time of flutter ablation, significantly reduces the risk of developing atrial fibrillation in the two year period following the procedure. - Selection Criteria: Patients referred for ablation of typical atrial flutter with an history of at least one documented episode of atrial fibrillation (atrial flutter remaining the predominant arrhythmia)will be enrolled in the study. - Study Methods: This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, 2-arms study, comparing the rate of atrial fibrillation occurrence over a two years period following either an ablation procedure of typical atrial flutter (Group 1), or a combined procedure of typical atrial flutter ablation and pulmonary veins cryoballoon isolation (Group 2). The enrollment period will be of 18 months. Randomization will be 1:1 and will be balanced in blocks of varying size. Patients will then be regularly followed up clinically and by long-term ECG recordings. - Evaluation Criteria: The primary endpoint will be the recurrence of symptomatic or asymptomatic atrial fibrillation, documented by an ECG or an R-test, occurring between M3 and M24 - Number of patients: 170 patients will be enrolled in the study - Number of centers: Four French and three German centers will participate. - Perspective: The demonstration of a clinical benefit in terms of atrial fibrillation risk reduction in the patient group with pulmonary vein isolation, could lead to a modification of atrial arrhythmia treatment indication.
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.
To demonstrate that ablation with the Therapy™ Cool Flex™ Irrigated Ablation System is effective in the treatment of typical atrial flutter (cavo-tricuspid dependent) and that its use does not result in an unacceptable risk of intra-procedural, serious cardiac adverse events.
To demonstrate that the use of Contact Therapy™ Cool Path™ ablation catheter in conjunction with the EnSite Velocity Contact Technology for the treatment of typical atrial flutter - Does not result into unacceptable risk of intra-procedural composite serious adverse events and, - Does not affect efficacy of the ablation procedure The study will also evaluate the
Primary objective of the PAPPHY Study is to establish the prevalence of primary aldosteronism (PA) in consecutive hypertensive patients referred for 'lone' paroxysmal, persistent or permanent atrial flutter or fibrillation (AFF). Design: cohort multicenter prospective study. State-of-the-art criteria and guidelines were followed for case detection and management of both PA and of AF in all enrolled patients (Funder J. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2008 and 2016; Kirchhof P. Eur Heart J 2011 and 2016).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of transcatheter ablation of atrial flutter with a standard irrigated catheter with flexible tip, as evaluated by percentual success of the procedure.
The purpose of the BLOCk-CTI study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Blazer® Open-Irrigated Ablation Catheter for the treatment of sustained or recurrent type 1 atrial flutter. This study will compare outcomes in patients treated with the Blazer® Open-Irrigated Ablation Catheter to outcomes in patients treated with open-irrigated radiofrequency ablation catheters that have received FDA market approval for the treatment of type 1 atrial flutter.
The primary purpose of this study is to optimize drug exposure in the target population.
