What Do the Trials Say for Catheter Ablation?-New Technologies for AF Ablation: What’s the Most Interesting New Trials (Presenter: Young-Hoon Kim, MD)

New Technologies for AF Ablation: What’s the Most Interesting New Trials (Presenter: Young-Hoon Kim, MD)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Yong-Hoon Kim from Korea University Medical Center presented on new technologies for AF ablation. He discussed the results of a study comparing sarcoscopic surgical ablation to catheter ablation in long-standing persistent AF. The study found that surgical ablation was superior in single-procedure outcomes, but had higher complication rates. Dr. Kim also discussed the use of high-density mapping to detect small gaps in PV reconnection and the potential of computer modeling to guide personalized ablation strategies. He concluded that sarcoscopic ablation may be better for certain cases, high-density mapping allows for greater precision, and virtual computer models may be a promising technology for treating persistent AF.
