A stepwise approach including circumferential pulmonary vein (PV) isolation, continuous complex-fractionated electrogram (CFE) ablation and linear ablation was performed by the same operator.

Left atrial appendage (LAA) peak flow velocities were measured with transesophageal echography and averaged within each RR interval of 10 consecutive cardiac cycles.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': '40 consecutive patients who underwent first-time radiofrequency catheter ablation for pAF. pAF was defined as continuous AF lasting longer than 1 month, resistant to either electrical or pharmacological cardioversion', 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* First-time radiofrequency catheter ablation for pAF. pAF was defined as continuous AF lasting longer than 1 month, resistant to either electrical or pharmacological cardioversion.\n* Informed consent\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Severe valvular disease requiring surgery\n* Valvular prosthesis\n* Known severe coronary artery disease\n* Atrial and/or ventricular thrombosis\n* New York Heart Association functional class III to IV\n* Cerebrovascular disease\n* Pulmonary embolism\n* Latent or manifest hyperthyroidism'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01144858', 'acronym': 'CLAAAF', 'briefTitle': 'Clinical Value of Left Atrial Appendage Flow for Prediction of Successful Catheter Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Clinique Pasteur'}, 'officialTitle': 'Clinical Value of Left Atrial Appendage Flow for Prediction of Successful Catheter Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'past-1001-ryth'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'patients with persistent atrial fibrillation ablation', 'interventionNames': ['Other: a complete transesophageal echocardiography']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'a complete transesophageal echocardiography', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'All patients were evaluated by a complete transesophageal echocardiography with multiplane probes with a 7-MHz transducer before catheter ablation .LA appendage flow was obtained by placing the pulsed Doppler sample volume at the orifice of the LA appendage, after which peak flow velocities were measured and averaged within each RR interval of 10 consecutive cardiac cycles', 'armGroupLabels': ['patients with persistent atrial fibrillation ablation']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '31076', 'city': 'Toulouse', 'state': '43-45 Avenue de Lombez', 'country': 'France', 'facility': 'Clinique Pasteur', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 43.60426, 'lon': 1.44367}}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Clinique Pasteur', 'class': 'OTHER'}}}}
