Abstract
Circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (CPVI) using irrigated radiofrequency is the most frequently used ablation technique for the treatment of atrial fibrillation worldwide. To date, no large randomized multicenter trials have evaluated the efficacy and safety of CPVI using robotic navigation (RN) systems compared with the current gold standard of manual ablation (MN). In this prospective, international multicenter noninferiority trial, 258 patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation were randomized for CPVI using either RN (RN group, n = 131) or manual ablation (MN group, n = 127). In all patients, CPVI was performed using irrigated radiofrequency ablation in combination with a 3-dimensional mapping system. The primary endpoint was the absence of atrial arrhythmia recurrence on or off antiarrhythmic drugs during a 12-month follow-up period. Secondary endpoints were the evaluation of periprocedural complications and procedural data such as procedure time, fluoroscopy time, and incidence of esophageal injury. Baseline characteristics were comparable between the RN group and MN group. Procedure time was significantly shorter in the MN group (129.3 ± 43.1 min vs. 140.9 ± 36.5 min; p = 0.026). 247 patients comple...Continue Reading
