Clinical Benefit of Ablating Localized Sources for Human Atrial Fibrillation: The Indiana University FIRM Registry

TL;DR: In the Indiana University FIRM registry, FIRM-guided ablation produced high single-procedure success, mostly in patients with nonparoxysmal AF and data from mapping, acute terminations, and outcomes strongly support the mechanistic role of biatrial rotors and focal sources in maintaining AF in diverse populations.

Updated worldwide survey on the methods, efficacy, and safety of catheter ablation for human atrial fibrillation

TL;DR: When analyzed in a large number of electrophysiology laboratories worldwide, catheter ablation of AF shows to be effective in ≈80% of patients after 1.3 procedures per patient, with ≈70% of them not requiring further antiarrhythmic drugs during intermediate follow-up.

A new approach for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation: mapping of the electrophysiologic substrate

TL;DR: Testing the hypothesis that complex fractionated electrograms recorded during atrial fibrillation could be used as target sites for catheter ablation of AF found areas with CFAEs represent a defined electrophysiologic substrate and are ideal target Sites for ablations to eliminate AF and maintain normal sinus rhythm.

Approaches to Catheter Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

TL;DR: Among patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, there was no reduction in the rate of recurrent atrialfibrillation when either linear ablation or ablation of complex fractionated electrograms was performed in addition to pulmonary-vein isolation.

Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation by the Ablation of Localized Sources: CONFIRM (Conventional Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation With or Without Focal Impulse and Rotor Modulation) Trial

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed that human atrial fibrillation (AF) may be sustained by localized sources (electrical rotors and focal impulses), whose elimination (focal impulse and rotor modulation [FIRM]) may improve outcome from AF ablation.
