EP on EP Episode 101: RCTs in AF Ablation, What Have We Learned

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video segment of EP on EP with Eric Pustowski and guest Dr. Jonathan Pacini from Duke University, they discuss the efficacy of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in atrial fibrillation ablation. Dr. Pacini emphasizes the importance of continuing trials beyond pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) to explore additional lesion sets for durable benefits. They also touch on the challenges of treating patients with recurrent AFib after PVI and propose randomized trials for trigger testing versus empiric isolation of the posterior wall. Moreover, the conversation delves into the potential risks and benefits of isolating the left atrial appendage during ablation procedures.
