Trial summary

Radiofrequency catheter ablation is effective in the treatment of patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. In order to reduce the recurrence rate after catheter ablation, the investigators propose to apply 'virtual' ablation on patient-specific atria by simulating 3D atrial computer model.

About this study

Radiofrequency catheter ablation is effective in the treatment of patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. In order to reduce the recurrence rate after catheter ablation, the investigators propose to apply 'virtual' ablation on patient-specific atria by simulating 3D atrial computer model. The investigators will conduct virtual rotor mapping in the patient specific atrial model. Then, the investigators will compare the clinical outcome of conventional circumferential pulmonary vein isolation and additional rotor ablation guided by virtual rotor mapping.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Recurrence rate of atrial fibrillation of 18 months after procedure within 18 months

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Rate of mortality, incidence of cerebral infarction and hospitalization after procedure

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Major complication related procedure : Complication of hemorrhagic and embolic

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Pericardial effusion required treatment, 4g/dL reduced level of Hb, Hemorrhage required blood transfusion and Cerebral infarction related procedure

    Measured: 24 months

  3. Procedure time and Radiofrequency ablation time

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing physician's personal experience and Virtual rotor mapping in people with Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Hui-Nam Pak (82-2-2228-8459, hnpak@yuhs.ac), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Recurrence rate of atrial fibrillation of 18 months after procedure within 18 months (time frame: 18 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02558699, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Jan 2023.
