HRS/EHRA/ECAS Consensus Statement Definitions Atrial Fibrillation (AF) • Paroxysmal AF: AF (≥2 episodes) that terminates spontaneously within 7 days • Persistent AF: >7 days or cardioversion • Longstanding persistent AF: >12 months continuous AF • Permanent AF: AF has been accepted Heart Rhythm. 2007 Jun;4(6):816-61.

HRS/EHRA/ECAS Consensus Statement Indications for AF Catheter Ablation • It is important to recognize that catheter ablation of AF is a demanding technical procedure that may result in complications • Patients should only undergo AF ablation after carefully weighing the risks and benefits of the procedure Heart Rhythm. 2007 Jun;4(6):816-61.
HRS/EHRA/ECAS Consensus Statement Indications for AF Catheter Ablation • Symptomatic AF refractory ≥ 1 AAD (Class I, III) • AF ablation as first line therapy (rare clinical situations) • Selected pts with heart failure and/or reduced EF Heart Rhythm. 2007 Jun;4(6):816-61.
HRS/EHRA/ECAS Consensus Statement Complications in AF Ablation • Cardiac tamponade (<6%) • Pulmonary vein stenosis (0-38%) • Atrio-Esophageal fistula (<0.25%) • Phrenic nerve injury (<0.48%) • Thromembolism (0-7%) • Post procedural arrhythmias (5-25%) • Vascular complications (0-13%) • Radiation exposure Heart Rhythm. 2007 Jun;4(6):816-61.
HRS/EHRA/ECAS Consensus Statement Technique / Lab Managements • Heparin Target ACT 300 to 400s • Careful identification of PV ostia is mandatory • If additional lesions are applied, line completeness should be demonstrated • RAI block only in pts with typical or inducible AFL • Non PV triggers should be targeted if possible • If pts with longstanding persistent AF are approached, ostial PVI may not be sufficent Heart Rhythm. 2007 Jun;4(6):816-61.
HRS/EHRA/ECAS Consensus Statement Minimal Monitoring • F/U visits; 3 months, 9 months and then every 6 months for at least 2 years • Event monitor in pts who complain of palpitations • AF/AFL/AT >30s are treatment failures • 24h HOLTER is acceptable for minimal monitoring for pts in clinical trials and is recommended at 3 to 6 months intervals for 1 to 2 years Heart Rhythm. 2007 Jun;4(6):816-61.
Hamburg AF Ablation Approach • 1. Procedure: Wide area circumferential PVI of ipsilateral PVs • 2. Procedure: Re-check PV conduction: Gap closure • Clinical AT Ablation • 3. Procedure: CFAE identification and ablation (LA, CS, RA) • Clinical AT Ablation
HRS/EHRA/ECAS Consensus Statement Conclusion • Catheter ablation of AF is... • performed throughout the world • associated with high success rates • significant complications • PV isolation is cornerstone of AF ablation
