Study summary

This clinical investigation is intended to demonstrate the acute safety and effectiveness of ablation with the TactiCath™ Contact Force Ablation Catheter, Sensor Enabled™ (TactiCath SE) for the treatment of drug refractory recurrent symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). This clinical investigation will be conducted under an investigational device exemption (IDE) and is intended to support market approval of the TactiCath SE ablation catheter in the United States. One hundred fifty six (156) subjects will be enrolled at up to 35 investigational sites in the US, Europe, and Australia. This clinical investigation is sponsored by Abbott.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm clinical trial to demonstrate the acute safety and effectiveness of the TactiCath SE catheter for the treatment of PAF against a performance goal. One hundred fifty six (156) subjects will be enrolled at up to 35 investigational sites in the US, Europe, and Australia. Only sites that enroll at least one subject will be part of the analysis population. No center may contribute more than 20% of the total number of enrollments without sponsor pre-approval to exceed this proportion and at least 50% of subjects must be from the United States.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of Serious Adverse Events

    The primary safety endpoint is the rate of device or procedure-related serious adverse events occurring within 7 days of the index procedure.
