Хирургическая аблация ФП Исследование эффективности (SAFE)

2 октября 2026 г. обновлено: Richard Whitlock, Population Health Research Institute

SAFE is an international multicentre RCT of concomitant surgical atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation in patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF undergoing cardiac surgery.

Обзор исследования

Подробное описание

Atrial fibrillation (AF) affects more than 1% of the general population and is an important risk factor for stroke. AF prevalence increases with age, occurring in 10 to 15% of patients older than 80 years of age, which is important with the aging population. Of patients undergoing cardiac surgery, 10.8% have a history of AF. AF is believed to cause the left atrium to dilate and lose its transport function. AF significantly increases the risk of ischemic stroke of cardioembolic origin, but is also associated with heart failure and impairs quality of life. Although the causal relationship between the 2 clinical entities has not been fully elucidated, AF is believed to cause heart failure via several mechanisms.

Ablation of AF is the application of scars to the atrial tissue to disrupt faulty electrical signals that cause the arrhythmia. If surgical ablation of AF yields a benefit similar to catheter-based AF ablation, thousands of people undergoing cardiac surgery could benefit from this procedure each year. SAFE will be a landmark trial in cardiac surgery, definitely establishing surgical AF ablation's impact on cardiovascular outcomes. Cardiac surgery is the optimal setting to establish whether maintenance of sinus rhythm through AF ablation yields clinical benefit, and is a setting where sham-control is possible. This will not only provide evidence for the cardiac surgical patients but will bolster the evidence for ablation (catheter or stand-alone surgical) in other AF patients.

The intervention under investigation is concomitant surgical AF ablation which is compared to no surgical AF ablation. The primary outcome is hospital readmissions with heart failure during 4 years of follow-up. This study will enroll 2000 patients from 50 centres, globally. Patients will be followed at hospital discharge, 4 to 6 weeks after surgery, 6 months after surgery, and then at 6-month intervals until the final follow-up visit, for a median follow-up for 4 years.

Группа участников / Армия
Вмешательство/лечение
Экспериментальный: Surgical Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Group

Surgeon will perform left atrial ablation during patient's cardiac surgery procedure.

Surgeon will preform surgical atrial fibrillation ablation using either cryoablation or bipolar radiofrequency clamps including 2 layers of atrium or vein, a minimum of 2 burns per clamping with at least 3 lines in the ablation group. Cavo-tricuspid isthmus and mitral lines will be allowed.

Без вмешательства: No Surgical Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Group

Surgeon will not perform left atrial ablation during the patient's cardiac surgery procedure.

The descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. The EQ VAS records the patient's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale, where the endpoints are labelled 'The best health you can imagine' and 'The worst health you can imagine'. The VAS can be used as a quantitative measure of health outcome that reflect the patient's own judgement.
