Comparison of PFA vs. RFA in Patients With Symptomatic Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation.
A Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, and Controlled Study of Pulsed Field Ablation System
This study is a mulitcentre, randomized, parallel-group evaluation of pulse field ablation(PFA) and radiofrequency ablation(RFA) in patients being treated for symptomatic paroxysmal AF.
Pulmonary-vein isolation (PVI) is the primary intention of catheter ablation in both groups.

Detailed Description
Patients are randomized to either pulse field ablation(PFA) using the PFA catheters(Insight Medtech) or radiofrequency ablation(RFA) using the RFA catheters(Biosense Webster).During the ablation procedure, the (1:1) randomly selected ablation modality is used in the left atriuablation procedurem to electrically isolate the pulmonary veins (PVs).All investigators demonstrates the success of PVI by the abolition of conduction of atrial impulses into the PVs.
Additional LA linear lesions or complex fractionated atrial electrogram ablation(s) are not allowed, and adenosine testing not performed, in either group. Concomitant ablation of previously documented avotricuspid isthmus-dependent atrial flutter (AFL) is allowed at the ablation procedure in both groups.
The acute procedural end point is defined as the absence or dissociation of all PV potentials, as confirmed by bi-directional block using a circular mapping catheter after a 20 min waiting period (subsequent to the last ablation).
Randomized groups are held throughout the trial, and re-ablation during the 3-month blanking period is allowed if the re-ablation is performing with the same type of catheter used at the ablation procedure. During the 3-month blanking period, antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) administration is allowed, but amiodarone iscontinuation is required at the time of the ablation procedure. Beta-adrenergic blockers is permitted and can be used at any time during this trail.
The primary efficacy endpoint is the 12-month treatment success rate,defining as the use of no class I or III AAD and no AF/AFL/AT episodes between the time of ablation blank (within 3 months after the ablation procedure) and 12 months of follow-up. (Confirmed by a definite ECG or dynamic ECG).

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Incidence of severe adverse events
Time Frame: 12 months after the ablation
|
Refers to an event that occurs during the clinical trial that results in mortality or serious deterioration in patient health, including a fatal illness or injury, a permanent defect in body structure or body function, or an event that requires medical or surgical intervention to avoid one or more permanent defects in body structure or body function.
|
12 months after the ablation
|
Incidence of device-related adverse events
Time Frame: 12 months after the ablation
|
Device-related adverse events refer to an adverse medical event related to the use of a device that occurs during the course of the clinical trial.
However, a distinction should be made with respect to normal postoperative stress response, such as fever and chest and back discomfort, which, in the judgment of the investigator, need not be recorded as an adverse event.
Recording of device-related adverse events will be applicable for conditions that are deemed by the investigator to be definitely related, possibly related, or of indeterminate relationship, to the test device.
