Catheter Ablation vs Anti-arrhythmic Drug Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Left atrial ablation and Rate or Rhythm Control Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation and Arrhythmia. Completed, enrolled 2,204 participants across 118 sites in 10 countries.
Detailed Summary
The (Catheter Ablation Versus Anti-arrhythmic Drug Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation Trial) CABANA Trial has the overall goal of establishing the appropriate roles for medical and ablative intervention for atrial fibrillation (AF). The CABANA Trial is designed to test the hypothesis that the treatment strategy of left atrial catheter ablation for the purpose of eliminating atrial fibrillation (AF) will be superior to current state-of-the-art therapy with either rate control or rhythm control drugs for decreasing the incidence of the composite endpoint of total mortality, disabling stroke, serious bleeding, or cardiac arrest in patients with untreated or incompletely treated AF.
