Clinical Trial Summary

Catheter ablation has emerged as an important treatment option for patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF). Pulmonary vein antral isolation (PVI) is now considered the cornerstone technique of AF ablation and has shown promise in treating paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). However, there is no unique strategy for ablation of persistent AF (PeAF), whether PVI alone is sufficient to prevent patients from recurrence remains controversial. The PROMPT-AF study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial involving a blinded assessment of outcomes, which is designed to compare arrhythmia-free survival between PVI and an ablation strategy termed upgraded '2C3L' for ablation of PeAF.


Clinical Trial Description

The PROMPT-AF study will include 498 patients undergoing their first catheter ablation of PeAF. All patients will be randomized to either the upgraded '2C3L' arm or PVI arm in a 1:1 fashion. The upgraded '2C3L' technique is a fixed ablation approach consisting of EI-VOM, bilateral circumferential PVI, and three linear ablation lesion sets across the mitral isthmus, left atrial roof, and cavotricuspid isthmus. The follow-up duration is 12 months. The primary endpoint is the rate of documented atrial tachycardia arrhythmias of >30 seconds, without any antiarrhythmic drugs, in 12 months after the index ablation procedure (excluding a blanking period of 3 months). ;
