Junctional AV Ablation in CRT-D Patients With Atrial Fibrillation (JAVA-CRT Trial)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Atrioventricular junctional (AVJ) ablation and Cardiac resynchronization therapy - defibrillator for Systolic Heart Failure and Atrial Fibrillation (Permanent). Completed, enrolled 26 participants across 21 sites.
Detailed Summary
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a demonstrably effective device intervention for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and specific indication. However, many patients with heart failure (HF) are unable to maintain sinus rhythm and approximately 30-36% of CRT patients are in atrial fibrillation (AF).
