CONTACT FORCE GUIDED VERSUS MAGNETICALLY DIRECTED ABLATION OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: A CASE CONTROL STUDY

Methods Forty patients were studied. 20 consecutive patients (14 male, 65±8 years) underwent antral RFC pulmonary vein isolation (PVAI) (40-50W, 48°C, 15-20 s, 30mL/min flow) for persistent (14) or paroxysmal (6) AF guided by CF (Tacticath, Endosense). Patients were matched to 20 patients treated by...

Zusammenfassung:Methods Forty patients were studied. 20 consecutive patients (14 male, 65±8 years) underwent antral RFC pulmonary vein isolation (PVAI) (40-50W, 48°C, 15-20 s, 30mL/min flow) for persistent (14) or paroxysmal (6) AF guided by CF (Tacticath, Endosense). Patients were matched to 20 patients treated by magnetically directed (Stereotaxis Niobe) irrigated gold-tip (Trignum G, Biotronik) (MDG) ablation (group 2) at a similar energy protocol for PVAI.
