Catheter Ablation
Catheter Ablation is commonly performed with radiofrequency or cryotherapy to maintain a rhythm control strategy if patients can no longer tolerate their symptoms or are no longer controlled on AVNB or AAD. The procedure leads to significant symptom improvement even though there may be insignificant AF recurrence at one year. At Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute, CA may be performed with radiofrequency ablation (Tactiflex Ablation Catheter, Abbott Cardiovascular, Minneapolis, MN) or pulsed field ablation (PulseSelectTM, Abbott Cardiovascular or FaraWaveTM, Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA), performed with EnsiteX (Abbott Cardiovascular) or Carto3 (Biosense Webster, Irvine, CA) mapping software.
Market-approved AVNB, OAC and AAD
Used per protocol for the duration of the trial.
