Empirical Anatomy-Based Ablation vs Emphasize Map-Guided Substrate Ablation in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation : (COMPASS-AF) (COMPASS-AF)
This study is aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of two different catheter ablation strategies in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation.
Participants will be randomized 1:1 into either the Anatomy-based group or the Emphasize map-guided group
- Anatomy-based group : Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using pulsed-field ablation (PFA) with a single-shot multielectrode catheter.
- Emphasize map-guided group : PVI using radiofrequency (RF) ablation followed by additional EnSite X-guided pathologic substrate modification.
Participants will be followed for 1 year to compare the incidence of any atrial tachyarrhythmia and other clinical parameters between the two groups.

Подробное описание
Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is increasingly being adopted in clinical practice due to its advantages in shortening procedure times and reducing the incidence of complications. While the majority of PFA-related research has focused on PVI-centric strategies, recent studies have reported that posterior wall isolation (PWI) using PFA can also be performed safely. However, sufficient clinical evidence regarding the efficacy of additional ablation strategies beyond PVI in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) has yet to be established.
The Emphasize mapping system, a software feature within the EnSite X platform, is designed to simultaneously visualize Voltage maps, Peak frequency, and CFAE-related information. Unlike the individual analysis of each parameter, this integrated approach allows for a more precise identification of electrophysiologically significant pathologic substrates by evaluating the complex characteristics of electrical signals holistically. Currently, however, Emphasize-guided ablation is technically limited to the use of radiofrequency (RF) energy.
Persistent AF is characterized by complex and heterogeneous mechanisms, meaning a single, uniform ablation strategy may not yield consistent clinical outcomes across all patients. Consequently, it is hypothesized that an individualized substrate ablation strategy guided by functional mapping may be more effective than a conventional, empirical anatomy-based approach.
Therefore, this study aims to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of an empirical anatomy-based ablation strategy using PFA versus an individualized Emphasize map-guided substrate ablation strategy in patients with persistent AF.

Активный компаратор: Anatomy-based group
|
In the empirical anatomy-based ablation strategy group, pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) will be performed using pulsed-field ablation (PFA) with a single-shot multielectrode catheter.
For each pulmonary vein, approximately 4-10 pulse applications will be delivered depending on the catheter position, with each application consisting of several seconds of pulse delivery.
The catheter will be positioned around the PV ostia, and electrical isolation will be achieved by utilizing various catheter configurations as necessary.
The energy settings and application methods for PFA in this study will follow the manufacturer's recommended protocols and established methods from prior clinical studies.
Additionally, the creation of supplementary lesion sets is permitted at the operator's discretion.

Экспериментальный: Emphasize map-guided group
|
In the Emphasize map-guided substrate ablation group, ablation will be performed using a contact force-sensing irrigated radiofrequency (RF) catheter.
Following pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), an Emphasize map will be acquired during atrial fibrillation (AF) using the EnSite X mapping system.
Based on this map, electrophysiologically significant pathologic substrates will be evaluated, and additional substrate ablation will be performed.
Subsequently, electrical cardioversion will be conducted to restore sinus rhythm.
If sinus rhythm is not maintained or if AF is re-induced, an additional Emphasize map may be acquired in the right atrium (RA), and RA substrate ablation can be performed if necessary.
