Comparison of phase mapping and electrogram-based driver mapping for catheter ablation in atrial fibrillation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Adjunctive driver-guided ablation in addition to pulmonary vein isolation has been proposed as a strategy to improve procedural success and outcomes for various populations with atrial fibrillation (AF). First, this study aimed to evaluate the different mapping techniques for driver/rotor identification and second to evaluate the benefits of driver/rotor-guided ablation in patients with paroxysmal and persistent AF (PerAF).

Methods

We searched the electronic database in PubMed using the keywords "atrial fibrillation," "rotor," "rotational driver," "atrial fibrillation source," and "drivers" for both randomized controlled trials and observational controlled trials. Clinical studies reporting efficacy or safety outcomes of driver-guided ablation for paroxysmal AF
