Lead Sponsor:

Beijing Anzhen Hospital

Collaborating Sponsors:

Abbott

Conditions:

Atrial Fibrillation (AF)

Catheter Ablation

Eligibility:

All Genders

18-80 years

Phase:

NA

Brief Summary

Atrial fibrillation (AF) leads to atrial functional mitral regurgitation (MR) through mechanisms including mitral annular dilatation, systolic leaflet motion distance alteration, and contractility dec...

Detailed Description

The ELEVATE-AF is a multi-center, open-label, parallel design, randomized controlled trial. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the catheter ablation combined with drug group or to ...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients were required to have moderate-to-severe or greater (≥3+) atrial functional mitral regurgitation assessed by transthoracic echocardiography within 14 days before randomization. Mitral regurgitation severity was graded by an echocardiography core-lab based on the American Society of Echocardiography criteria, specifically an effective regurgitant orifice area (EROA) ≥30 mm²
  • Age 18-80 years
  • Persistent atrial fibrillation diagnosed by electrocardiogram
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50% assessed by transthoracic echocardiography within 14 days before randomization(confirmed by the echocardiography core-lab)
  • Left ventricular end-diastolic internal diameter ≤60 mm and left atrial anterior- posterior diameter ≤60 mm in echocardiographic parasternal long-axis view within 14 days before randomization(confirmed by the echocardiography core-lab)
  • Within 14 days before randomization, patients must be treated to ensure the absence of fluid retention and to maintain an average heart rate below 110 bpm.
  • Agree to undergo catheter ablation and be able to undergo follow-up as required.
  • For the ELEVATE-AF X study: Subjects have to meet the ELEVATE-AF study eligibility criteria to be registered in the ELEVATE-AF X study.

Exclusion

  • paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, atrial fibrillation secondary to an apparently reversible cause, or with history of previous ablation;
  • primary mitral valve pathology, including calcification, sclerosis, prolapse, flail, tendon cable rupture, valve degeneration, infective endocarditis, rheumatic lesions, or ischemic lesions;
  • history of previous mitral valve surgery or transcatheter manipulation;
  • mitral valve orifice area \<4 cm2;
  • aortic valve disease requiring surgical or transcatheter intervention;
  • untreated clinically significant coronary artery disease requiring revascularization;
  • history of previous myocardial infarction;
  • previous definitive diagnosis of cardiomyopathies such as dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy, constrictive pericarditis, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, and infiltrative cardiomyopathies (e.g., amyloidosis, hemochromatosis, and nodular disease)
  • echocardiographic evidence of intracardiac mass or thrombus;
  • implant of cardiac device (pacemaker, implantable cardioverter defibrillator, cardiac resynchronization therapy device, or left atria appendage closure);
  • hemodynamic instability requiring cardiac assist devices, intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), or other hemodynamic support;
  • any percutaneous cardiac intervention (percutaneous coronary intervention, transcatheter aortic valve replacement, etc.) within the 30 days prior to randomization,
  • any cardiac surgery within the 6 months prior to randomization;
  • active infections requiring current antibiotic therapy;
  • a known hypersensitivity or contradiction to procedure medications which cannot be adequately managed medically;
  • contraindication to appropriate anti-coagulation therapy;
  • chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) requiring continuous home oxygen therapy or chronic oral steroid therapy;
  • acute cerebrovascular accident within 30 days prior to randomization or Modified Rankin Score ≥ 4;
  • symptomatic severe carotid stenosis (\>70% by ultrasound);
  • other planned surgical or interventional procedures within the next 3 months;
  • liver failure;
  • renal failure or dialysis status;
  • pregnant or planning pregnancy within the next 3 months;
  • life expectancy \< 12 months (e.g., advanced malignant tumors);
  • currently participating in other interventional studies;
  • circumstances that, in the judgment of the researcher, make participation in this study unsuitable.
  • For the ELEVATE-AF X study: Subjects who have any contraindications to ELEVATE-AF study and are not capable of performing ELEVATE-AF study per investigator's assessment should not be registered in the ELEVATE-AF X study.
