  16. Limitations • Limited number of subjects in this pilot study • Follow-up was limited to 12 months • As expected a small number of patients crossed over from drug to ablative therapy • Small numbers of at risk patients at 12 months limiting “late” conclusion that can be drawn CABANA Pilot Study; ACC 2010

  17. Conclusion of the CABANA Pilot Study • Ablative intervention was more effective than drug therapy for preventing recurrent symptomatic atrial fibrillation • Treatment success rates in this population, which include a significant percentage with persistent and long-standing persistent AF, were lower than observed in other randomized clinical trials • Late recurrence of AF may reduce long-term effectiveness of ablation • This pilot study establishes the feasibility and importance of conducting a pivotal trial for establishing long-term outcome, mortality, quality of life, and cost of therapy for AF CABANA Pilot Study; ACC 2010
