The VOLTAIRE-AF registry (NCT07621055) is now recruiting 150 patients across French electrophysiology centres to evaluate the real-world safety and performance of Volta Medical's AF-Xplorer II AI mapping software during catheter ablation using next-generation mapping and pulsed-field ablation technologies. With 24-month follow-up and freedom-from-recurrence as a primary endpoint, this post-market study will generate the first systematic real-world evidence on AI-assisted substrate identification integrated with contemporary ablation platforms.
