About this study

Official title: Study of High-density Mapping-guided bOx Isolation and subsTrate Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

This study evaluates the efficacy of high-density mapping guided atrial substrate ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation. 1/5 of the patients with persistent atrial fibrillation undergo pulmonary veins isolation, 2/5 of them pulmonary veins and box isolation while others undergo atrial substrate ablation apart from pulmonary veins and box isolation.

  • CPVI+BOXProcedure or surgery

    Circumferential PV and BOX isolation

  • CPVI+BOX+SUBProcedure or surgery

    Atrial substrate ablation apart from circumferential PV and BOX isolation

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. sinus rhythm maintenance rate

    Holter is performed 12months after the procedure and heart rhythm is recorded.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. left ventricular ejection fraction

    LVEF is evaluated by echocardiography 12months after the procedure.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Stroke or embolic events

    History of stroke or embolic events is taken at each follow-up during the period of 12 months after procedure, and if necessary, radiographic examinations will be performed.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Atrial fibrosis

    Atrial substrate mapping is performed before and after catheter ablation in one day to evaluate the atrial fibrosis.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CPVI, CPVI+BOX and CPVI+BOX+SUB in people with Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Remodeling, run by The Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

sinus rhythm maintenance rate (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jul 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
