Randomized Control Study to Assess the Neurological Outcomes After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation for Rhythm Control vs Routine Medication Therapy in Patients With Recent Stroke: SAVE STROKE Phase II Study
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Catheter Ablation and Market-approved AVNB, OAC and AAD for Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke. Not yet recruiting, targeting 100 participants across 7 sites.
Detailed Summary
A prospective, non-blinded, multi-center study to assess the impact of early Catheter Ablation (CA) in patients with a new diagnosis of Atrial Fibrillation(AF) at the time of stroke. 100 patients will be enrolled.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
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.
Used per protocol for the duration of the trial.
