VISTAX Prospective, Multicenter, Nonrandomized Study

VISTAX Prospective, Multicenter, Nonrandomized Study

Standardized pulmonary vein isolation workflow to enclose veins with contiguous lesions: The multicentre VISTAX trial. Duytschaever M, et al. Europace. 2021;23(3):362-369.

VISTAX demonstrated the reproducibility of an optimized VISITAG SURPOINT™ Module PVI ablation workflow in patients with drug refractory paroxysmal AF treated in 17 European sites. ~90% of patients were free of arrhythmia recurrence or repeat ablation at 12-month.

PRECEPT Prospective, Multicenter, Nonrandomized Study

Persistent atrial fibrillation ablation with contact force-sensing catheter: The prospective multicenter PRECEPT trial
Mansour M,  et al. JACC Clin Electrophysiol. 2020;6(8):958-969.  

PRECEPT evaluated safety/effectiveness of persistent atrial fibrillation ablation with the contact-force sensing THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH™ SF Catheter and CARTO VISITAG™ Module using a tailored PVI-only/PVI+ approach. 80% of patients experienced clinical success (ie, freedom from symptomatic recurrence) at 15 months.

ATTEST Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Study

Catheter ablation or medical therapy to delay progression of atrial fibrillation: The randomized controlled atrial fibrillation progression trial (ATTEST) Kuck, K-H, et al. Europace. 2021;23(3):362-369.

ATTEST was the first randomized study demonstrating that early RF catheter ablation is superior to antiarrhythmic drug therapy in delaying AF progression. RF ablation patients were approximately 10x less likely to progress to persistent AF.
