Pulmonary Artery Denervation in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Group 2 of Pulmonary Hypertension (PADN+AF)

Pulmonary Artery Denervation+ Atrial Fibrillation Ablation vs Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Only in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Group 2 of Pulmonary Hypertension

The goal of the study is to compare efficacy and safety of the pulmonary artery denervation procedure combined with atrial fibrillation ablation versus atrial fibrillation ablation alone in patients with paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation and group 2 of the pulmonary hypertension

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Sham Comparator: Pulmonary vein isolation+sham pulmonary artery denervation (group 1)
In group 1, standard pulmonary vein isolation will be performed (with manual or remote robotic 3D navigation using radiofrequency energy) with sham pulmonary artery denervation procedure including 3D reconstruction of the pulmonary artery tree and creation of the false ablation point
Circumferential pulmonary vein isolation procedure using 3D navigation systems with entrance and exit block verification
Sham pulmonary artery denervation procedure includes 3D reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract, main, left and right pulmonary arteries with creation of the false ablation points. No true ablation lesions will be performed in the pulmonary artery
Active Comparator: Pulmonary vein isolation+pulmonary artery denervation (group 2)
In group 2, standard pulmonary vein isolation will be performed (with manual or remote robotic 3D navigation using radiofrequency energy) combined with pulmonary artery denervation procedure
Circumferential pulmonary vein isolation procedure using 3D navigation systems with entrance and exit block verification
Pulmonary artery denervation procedure includes 3D reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract, main, left and right pulmonary arteries and 3 circles of ablation lesions (bifurcation of the main pulmonary artery, left and right pulmonary arteries)
