Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of two different pharmacological approaches to improve long-term outcome of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. The pharmacological approaches consist of additional radiofrequency energy applications to eliminate dormant left atrium (LA) - pulmonary vein (PV) reconduction induced by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) injection during the procedure, and short-term (90 days) use of anti-arrhythmic drugs following successful catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.

Interventions/Control_1

UNmasking Dormant Electrical Reconduction by Adenosine TriPhosphate (UNDER-ATP) trial

Patients are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to control or ATP groups.
Following successful pulmonary vein (PV) isolation, ATP (0.4mg/body weight-kg) is rapidly injected to induce the dormant left atrium (LA) - PV conduction. If dormant LA-PV conduction is induced, additional radiofrequency energy is delivered to the conduction gap until loss of ATP-induced reconduction is recognized.

Interventions/Control_2

Efficacy of Antiarrhythmic drugs Short-Term use after catheter ablation for Atrial Fibrillation (EAST-AF) trial

Patients are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to control or antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) groups immediately after successful catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Vaughan Williams class I or III AAD is used for 90 days after the procedure in the AAD group.
