Gold vs. platinum-iridium tip catheter for cavotricuspid isthmus ablation: the AURUM 8 study
Original language description
Aims Gold electrodes have the theoretical advantage of creating bigger lesions than platinum-iridium (Pt-Ir) electrodes. We performed a prospective randomized study to compare the clinical efficacy of standard 8 mm Pt-Ir tip catheter (control) and 8 mm gold-tip catheters in the ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI)-dependent atrial flutter. Methods and results A total of 463 patients undergoing CTI ablation in 19 clinical centres were randomized to receive the treatment by gold-tip or control catheter. The primary endpoint was cumulative radiofrequency (RF) application duration until achieving bidirectional CTI block. It did not differ significantly for the two catheters. The gold-tip catheter was, however, associated with a higher ablation success rate (94.3 vs. 89.0%, P = 0.042) and a substantially lower incidence of char and coagulum formation (4.8 vs. 37.9%, P < 0.001), which required exchange of 1 gold-tip (0.4%) and 10 control catheters (4.6%, P = 0.005).
