JACC retracts OASIS trial paper

The Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) has retracted the paper titled: “Impact of rotor ablation in non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation patients: Results...

The OASIS trial: A critical appraisal

Recent results of the first randomised trial—OASIS trial—to compare rotor-only ablation with two other ablation strategies in non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation patients found poor outcomes...

First randomised trial shows “poor outcomes” with rotor ablation

OASIS, the first randomised, controlled, multicentre clinical trial to compare rotor-only ablation with two other ablation strategies in non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation patients found “poor...

Non-invasive mapping prior to ablation may be an effective strategy for...

Preliminary data from the AFACART study have shown encouraging results when treating persistent atrial fibrillation with non-invasive mapping followed by pulmonary vein isolation and/or linear lesions.

Ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation, are we there yet?

Mark Earley (London, UK) argues that despite the breathtaking progress of interventional electrophysiology in the last 10 years, ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation remains an unconquered summit.

Multicentre study finds focal impulse and rotor mapping (FIRM) may eliminate...

Preliminary results of a new multicentre study have found that both paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation may be sustained by localised stable rotors and that targeted ablation of those sources by focal impulse and rotor mapping (FIRM) can eliminate atrial fibrillation
