Descrizione dettagliata
Background and Rationale Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. While pulsed field ablation (PFA) offers a non-thermal, tissue-selective energy source that minimizes collateral damage to adjacent structures (such as the esophagus and phrenic nerve), its efficacy heavily relies on the precise anatomical positioning of the ablation catheter within the complex left atrial (LA) anatomy. Current LA reconstruction methods have limitations: conventional fast anatomical mapping (FAM) requires extensive catheter manipulation, and CT/MRI integration exposes patients to radiation, contrast agents, and additional costs.
The CARTO SOUND™ FAM system addresses these challenges by integrating intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) with a three-dimensional mapping platform. Utilizing an artificial intelligence algorithm, it generates a precise 3D LA model directly from 2D ICE frames acquired from the right atrium and right ventricular outflow tract. This approach aims to reduce LA mapping time while improving the anatomical definition of critical structures, such as the ridge between the left atrial appendage and the pulmonary veins.
Procedural Workflow and Intervention Details This prospective, multicenter study is designed to evaluate the clinical feasibility and acute procedural workflow of combining the CARTO SOUND™ FAM system with PFA. During the procedure, following a transseptal puncture, the CARTO SOUND™ FAM system utilizing an ICE catheter will be deployed to efficiently reconstruct a detailed 3D model of the left atrium and pulmonary veins without crossing the septum with the mapping catheter initially.
Guided by this real-time ultrasound-derived 3D anatomical model, operators will navigate the Varipulse™ PFA catheter to deliver pulsed-field energy for the electrical isolation of target pulmonary veins. The VIZIGO™ steerable sheath may be adjunctive utilized to optimize catheter stability and positioning. Post-ablation, patients will undergo standard clinical management and will be followed for 30 days with continuous monitoring (including 12-lead ECG, 24-hour Holter, and echocardiography) to assess both acute electrophysiological success and short-term procedural safety.

Sperimentale: Experimental: PFA Ablation Group
Participants with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation receive pulsed field ablation (PFA) guided by CARTO SOUND™ FAM for pulmonary vein isolation.
|
Pulsed field ablation is delivered via the Varipulse™ catheter to isolate pulmonary veins, guided by the CARTO SOUND™ FAM system which uses intracardiac echocardiography to reconstruct a 3D model of the left atrium.
