Observational Study to Examine the Procedural and Outcomes of AF Ablation Assisted by STAR Apollo™ Mapping System
October 13, 2023 updated by: Kansas City Heart Rhythm Research Foundation
STAR Apollo Mapping System is an FDA cleared mapping technology that can analyze the signals collected during the ablation procedure on the 3D mapping system and give the physician further insight into the AF activation patterns which may assist them in identifying areas responsible for maintaining Atrial Fibrillation (AF).
The STAR Apollo Mapping System system allows clinicians, after treating the Pulmonary Veins (PV), to collect data from the atria during clinical AF procedures using standard FDA cleared catheters and devices.
This study aims to examine the impact of the STAR Apollo Mapping System on procedural and acute outcomes in a multicenter observational study.

Detailed Description
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm abnormality.
It affects 1 in 100 people.
It can cause unpleasant symptoms of palpitation, shortness of breath and in some can cause heart failure or stroke.
AF is triggered by abnormal electrical signals originating both in the pulmonary veins (PV), the veins that drain blood from the lungs into the heart, and in the rest of the left atrium, the heart chamber that the PVs drain into.
AF can be successfully treated by a procedure called catheter ablation.
This involves passing a wire up the vein at the top of the leg and delivering radiofrequency energy to the atrial tissue.
This renders that tissue electrically inert.
For many years this procedure has been guided by 3D cardiac mapping systems capable of showing the position of the catheters in the heart and recording their electrical signals.
By doing a series of radiofrequency treatments around the mouth of the PVs it is possible to electrically isolate them so that PV signals cannot start or sustain AF.
This leaves the left atrial signals untreated and limits the success of the procedure to 50%.
To date clinicians have tried numerous ways to identify these remaining left atrial signals, but so far, their efforts have not improved the outcomes of ablation over just isolating the PVs alone (50% success rate).
STAR Apollo Mapping System is an FDA cleared mapping technology that can analyze the signals collected during the ablation procedure on the 3D mapping system and give the physician further insight into the AF activation patterns which may assist them in identifying areas responsible for maintaining AF.
The STAR Apollo Mapping System system allows clinicians, after treating the PVs, to collect data from the atria during clinical AF procedures using standard FDA cleared catheters and devices.
This study aims to examine the impact of the STAR Apollo Mapping System on procedural and acute outcomes in a multicenter observational study.

Study Population
Patients who have been referred for persistent AF catheter ablation, who have already had AF recurrence post PVI, will be considered for this study.
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Indication for ablation of persistent AF
- Age >18 years

This exploratory hypothesis generating data set will be collected during standard AF ablation procedures using FDA cleared technologies as described in their Instructions for Use (IFU).
No randomization or experimental protocols will be used during this study, and all follow up will be performed as per the center's standard of care(SOC).
