The Catheter Ablation versus Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation trial is being done to compare drug therapy with catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation. This study will help to decide which treatment approach is best and if under certain circumstances, one therapy is preferred over the other treatment. The CABANA study will also compare the cost of care for the two treatment approaches and determine the effect these therapies have on quality of life.
CABANA is a global clinical research trial. This study is currently being conducted in ten countries. In addition to the United States and Canada, international investigators are located throughout Europe. Asia, and the Pacific.
