CT Guided Ablation of Ganglionated Plexi

CT Guided Ablation of Ganglionated Plexi

Brief description of study

Despite progress made in treating atrial fibrillation with catheter ablation, outcomes remain suboptimal with pulmonary vein isolation alone. Ablation of ganglionated plexi (GP) has been shown to be beneficial in patients with atrial fibrillation although optimal strategies of localization of these regions have yet to be determined.

We aim to develop a novel strategy of CT guided GP localization to guide ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation.

This trial is a single-arm prospective study to evaluate the role of high frequency stimulation (HFS) and computed tomography (CT) guided mapping and ablation of ganglionated plexi (GP) in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Subjects will be recruited from the investigators clinical practices at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
