Swiss Atrial Fibrillation Pulmonary Vein Isolation Registry

Registry of patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (pulmonary vein isolation) to determine long-term success rates of catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (pulmonary vein isolation) and to evaluate factors associated with long-term success of catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (pulmonary vein isolation).

Treatment and study plan

catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (pulmonary vein isolation)

Procedure

catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (pulmonary vein isolation)

Primary outcomes

  1. changes in retention rate of normal sinus rhythm after catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (pulmonary vein isolation)

    Time frame: before catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation and 3, 6 and 12 months after catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation

    changes in retention rate of normal sinus rhythm after catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (pulmonary vein isolation)

Secondary outcomes

  1. morphologic changes of left cardiac atrium

    Time frame: before catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (pulmonary vein isolation)

    echocardiography of left cardiac atrium

  2. changes in retention rate of normal sinus rhythm after catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (pulmonary vein isolation)

    Time frame: 12 months after catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation and then at intervals of one year until 2035

    changes in retention rate of normal sinus rhythm after catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (pulmonary vein isolation)

Other outcomes

  1. determination of factors associated with long-term success rates of catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation

    Time frame: Blood samples gained during catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (pulmonary vein isolation)

    Blood samples (biobanking) for determination of factors associated with long-term success rates of catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (pulmonary vein isolation). Decisions about future analyses to be performed from stored samples will be based exclusively on scientific reasons.
