Ablation of Consecutive Atrial Tachycardia
Ablation of CONseCutive atriaL Tachycardia gUided by Ultra-high-DEnsity Mapping
Evangelical Hospital Düsseldorf

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Ablation of consecutive atrial tachycardia (AT) after ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) or cardiac surgery can be challenging due to complex substrate and AT mechanisms. A substantial portion of patients is known to show various tachycardias and recurrences occur in a noticeable number of cases. With the availability of novel ultra-high-density mapping techniques characterization and understanding of AT mechanisms and underlying substrate can be improved. Aim of this prospective, multi-center, randomized study is to compare a standard AT ablation approach versus minimalized ablation of the clinical AT in regards to arrhythmia free survival.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria3
- Consecutive AT subsequent to prior AF ablation procedure or cardiac surgery

Exclusion Criteria7
- < 18 years
- No previous atrial fibrillation ablation procedure or cardiac surgery
- Pregnant women or women of childbearing potential without a negative pregnancy test within 48 hours prior to treatment
- History of hemorrhagic diathesis or other coagulopathies
- Contraindications for oral anticoagulation
- Hyper- or hypothyroidism
- Has any condition that would make participation not be in the best interest of the subject
