Gedetailleerde beschrijving
Atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence remains frequent after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), particularly in patients with persistent AF, suggesting a role for non-pulmonary vein arrhythmogenic substrates. Spatiotemporal dispersion of intracardiac electrograms has been associated with AF maintenance and may provide insights into mechanisms underlying treatment failure.
Volta AF-Xplorer II is a CE-marked artificial intelligence-based software that assists electrophysiologists by identifying and displaying areas exhibiting spatiotemporal dispersion during AF ablation procedures. Previous studies have demonstrated the feasibility and clinical relevance of AI-guided dispersion analysis and ablation strategies in patients with persistent AF.
The DISPLAY-AF study was designed to investigate the relationship between spatiotemporal dispersion characteristics detected by Volta AF-Xplorer II and atrial arrhythmia recurrence following a standard PVI-only ablation strategy in patients undergoing de novo ablation for persistent AF. The study also aims to further characterize the distribution and evolution of dispersion patterns during AF ablation procedures.
Participants will be followed for 12 months after the index procedure, with scheduled visits at 3, 6, and 12 months. Follow-up assessments include ECGs, Holter monitoring, recurrence assessment, quality-of-life evaluation using the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire, symptom evaluation, medication review, and adverse event monitoring.

Experimenteel: Intervention: Complete biatrial mapping before and after PVI using Volta AF-Xplorer II
|
All enrolled patients undergo catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation. During the mapping phases of the procedure, the CE-marked Volta AF-Xplorer II artificial intelligence software is used according to its intended use to identify and display areas exhibiting spatiotemporal dispersion. Complete biatrial mappings of spatiotemporal dispersion areas are performed before and after Pulmonary Vein Isolation using Volta AF-Xplorer II connected to a compatible electroanatomical 3D mapping system (EnSite or CARTO). For the abation, Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is performed using radiofrequency (RF) or pulsed field ablation (PFA), consisting of the creation of contiguous circumferential lesions around each pulmonary vein antrum. The main phases of the ablation procedure are:
