The optimal ablation set beyond PVI for persistent AF patients remains undetermined. Should we go for an anatomical approach (e.g., PWI, VoM, LAAI) or does an personalized approach based on AF mapping still has a role? The randomized FLOW-AF trial demonstrated superiority of EGF-guided ablation vs PVI-only in redo cases (https://lnkd.in/eZNpduKG). The multicenter RESOLVE-AF study will evaluate whether active AF sources identified by OptiMap are clinically relevant in persistent AF patients undergoing their first PVI. This week we enrolled the first patient in the Erasmus MC for RESOLVE-AF. Excited to be part of this endeavor to establish the role of EGF mapping. Thanks to Marloes Jansen for the support.
