ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
We previously presented the safety and early efficacy of the inspIRE study (Study for Treatment of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation [PAF] by Pulsed-field Ablation [PFA] System With Irreversible Electroporation [IRE]). With the study's conclusion, we report the outcomes of the full pivotal study cohort, with an additional analysis of predictors of success.METHODS:
InspIRE was a prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical trial of drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Pulmonary vein isolation was performed with a variable-loop circular catheter integrated with a 3-dimensional mapping system. Follow-up with 24-hour Holter was at 3, 6, and 12 months, as well as remote rhythm monitoring weekly from 3 to 5 months, monthly from 6 to 12 months, and for symptoms. The primary effectiveness end point (PEE) was acute pulmonary vein isolation plus freedom from any atrial arrhythmia at 12 months. Additional subanalyses report predictors of PEE success.RESULTS:
The patient cohort included 186 patients aged 59±10 years, female 30%, and CHA2DS2-VASc 1.3±1.2. The previously reported primary adverse event rate was 0%. One serious procedure-related adverse event, urinary retention, was reported. The PEE was achieved in 75.6% (95% CI, 69.5%-81.8%). The clinical success of freedom from symptomatic recurrence was 81.7% (95% CI, 76.1%-87.2%). Simulating a monitoring method used in standard real-world practice (without protocol-driven remote rhythm monitoring), this translates to a freedom from all and symptomatic recurrence of 85.8% (95% CI, 80.8%-90.9%) or 94.0% (95% CI, 90.6%-97.5%), respectively. Multivariate analyses revealed that left ventricular ejection fraction ≥60% (adjusted odds ratio, 0.30) and patients receiving ≥48 PFA applications (adjusted odds ratio, 0.28) were independent predictors of PEE success. Moreover, PEE success was 79.2% in patients who received ≥12 PFA applications per vein compared with 57.1% in patients receiving fewer PFA applications.CONCLUSIONS:
The inspIRE study confirms the safety and effectiveness of pulmonary vein isolation using the novel 3-dimensional mapping integrated circular loop catheter. An optimal number of PFA applications (≥48 total or ≥12 per vein) resulted in an improved 1-year success rate of ≈80%.
