COMRADE-AI: Clinical and Healthcare Economic OutcoMes From ReAl-worlD Use in Europe of an AI Software During AF Ablation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this Observational Prospective Multi-center Study is to observe the acute and long-term safety and performance outcomes after spatiotemporal dispersion-based AF/AT ablation utilizing the Volta Medical AI software in "real-life" clinical practice, without any imposed clinical workflow. Moreover, this study will allow to collect medico-economic data related to the tailored ablation strategy guided by the Volta Medical AI software.
All patients enrolled are treated for their atrial fibrillation/tachycardia via a catheter ablation procedure using Volta Medical AI software during the mapping phase to identify areas of interest specific to the patient. The ablation approach is free and chosen by the operator according to his standard practice. Intraoperative and postoperative follow-up will be performed as in routine clinical practice during AF ablation procedures: hospitalization for ablation procedure and standard postoperative quarterly visits (at 3 months, at 6 months and/or 9 months as per study investigator's Standard Of Care) then annual visits up to 24 months post-ablation. Adverse Events, recurrences of atrial arrhythmia and AF related symptoms (EHRA score) are collected from the patient's enrollment until the patient's study termination. A quality-of-life questionnaire related to general health (EQ-5D-3L) is collected during the preoperative visit and at least during annual follow-up visits. The patient's study-termination corresponds to his last annual visit at 24 months post-ablation index.
