Initial Independent Outcomes from Focal Impulse and Rotor Modulation Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation: Multicenter FIRM Registry

Structured PICO

Does FIRM ablation improve freedom from AF in patients with atrial fibrillation?

Population

Patients with atrial fibrillation

Intervention

Focal Impulse and Rotor Modulation (FIRM) ablation

Outcome

Freedom from AF at 1 yearhard clinical

FIRM-guided ablation for atrial fibrillation demonstrates a rapid learning curve, achieving approximately 80% freedom from AF at 1 year even at newly adopting centers.

Abstract

Elimination of patient-specific AF rotors/focal sources produced freedom-from-AF of ≈80% at 1 year at centers new to FIRM. FIRM-guided ablation has a rapid learning curve, yielding similar results to original FIRM reports in each center's first cases.
