Find Me If You Can: First Clinical Experience Using the Novel CARTOFINDER Algorithm in a Routine Workflow for Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

Abstract: Aims: The CARTOFINDER module allows for simultaneous and automated detection of repetitive focal and rotational activations in patients with atrial arrhythmias. This study aimed to validate the CARTOFINDER algorithm for the detection of potential drivers for atrial fibrillation (AF) and to access their potential impact on individual arrhythmia substrates. Methods: Fifty consecutive patients underwent AF ablation for persistent AF (PERS), using a 3D-mapping system with the integrated CARTOFINDER module. Regions… Show more

“…Complete pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) represents the cornerstone of this procedure [1]. As CB-guided single-shot PVI is associated with shorter procedure times, an improved learning curve and a higher degree of lesion reproducibility it provides a valid alternative to radiofrequency (RF)-guided catheter ablation [1, [4][5][6][7]. Over the past 15 years, much experience has been gained with the established AFA-CB (Arctic Front Advance (Pro), AFA, Medtronic) [1, 5,[8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

“…Mapping using CARTOFINDER can be integrated into routine clinical workflows, as it requires no additional equipment if one is already using CARTO for AF ablation if the software module is present. [ 41 ] Mapping shows focal and rotational activation patterns as regions of interest (ROI).…”

“…In recent series, there does not appear to be a relationship between these sites and low bipolar voltage as measured by the PENTARAY, in contrast to earlier work using basket catheters. [ 41 , 42 ] Given the large number of institutions that use CARTO mapping as part of an AF ablation, more systematically collected data are emerging to guide mechanistic insight and tailored therapy approaches using this method.…”
