Surround flow and contact force (CF) measurement capabilities might enhance procedure efficacy and safety. We report on the safety and midterm efficacy of a novel ablation catheter for PV isolation in patients with AF.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods and results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Two hundred thirty\u2010three consecutive patients (57 \u00b1 11 years, 76% males, 51% with structural heart disease), referred for paroxysmal (157) or persistent (76) AF, underwent PV isolation by a surround flow catheter with CF measurement capability in four centers. Ablation was guided by electroanatomic mapping allowing radiofrequency (RF) energy delivery in the antral region aiming at PV isolation.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Mean overall procedure time was 100 \u00b1 42 minutes with a mean fluoroscopy time of 6 \u00b1 5 minutes. Mean ablation time was 31\u00b115 minutes; 99% of the targeted veins were isolated. The mean CF value during ablation was 13 \u00b1 4 g. Intraprocedural early (30 minutes) PV reconnection occurred in 12% PVs, and all PVs were effectively reisolated. One pericardial effusion and five groin hematomas were reported. During a mean follow\u2010up of 12 \u00b1 6 months, 30 (12.9%) (10% paroxysmal AF vs. 18% persistent AF, P = 0.07) patients had an atrial arrhythmias recurrence.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this multicenter registry, RF ablation using a new surround flow catheter, with CF sensor, resulted as feasible, achieving a high rate of isolated PVs.
