Study Summary

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a standard treatment option for cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) dependent atrial flutter. We plan to perform a randomized prospective trial comparing the efficacy of contact force (CF) guided CTI ablation against catheter ablation with the operator blinded to contact force parameters.

Eligible Conditions
  • Atrial Flutter
  • Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation

Timeline

Screening ~ 3 weeks
Treatment ~ Varies
Follow Up ~determined during rfa procedure
This trial's timeline: 3 weeks for screening, Varies for treatment, and determined during rfa procedure for reporting.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Operator guided by contact forceExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Operator has full access to contact force parameters including force time integral (FTI).
Group II: Operator blinded to contact forceActive Control1 Intervention
Operator is blinded to contact force with ablation guided by standard markers of effective ablation.
