For short, concise coverage of the key data revealed, our accessible Expert Interviews were conducted with select faculty, focussing on the results, applicability and impact on future research and clinical practice. 

About the episode

EHRA 24 - Investigator, Dr Boris Schmidt (Cardioangiologisches Centrum Bethanien, DE) is interviewed on ablation strategies for repeat procedures in patients with recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF).

The ASTRO trial is a multi-centre prospective randomized study that enrolled 256 patients with drug-refractory AF despite previous AF ablation. The trial showed no statistically significant differences between CB guided LAAI over LVA ablation in patients with AF despite durable PVI.

Interview Questions:

  1. What is the reasoning behind this study?
  2. What is the patient population and study design?
  3. What are the key findings revealed at EHRA 24?
