Study summary

The goal of any novel design or therapeutic strategy to treat atrial fibrillation is to restore normal sinus rhythm and to reduce or eliminate the symptoms due to rapid atrial response.

Boston Scientific has developed the FARAPULSE™ Pulsed Field Ablation therapy that uses irreversible electroporation to induce cell death.

This Registry is intended to obtain purely observational and prospective real world data and to provide continued evidence on the safety and effectiveness when the FARAPULSE™ pulsed field ablation System is used per hospitals' standard of care.

Read the detailed description

This Registry is intended to obtain purely observational and prospective real world data about the cardiac ablation procedure in subjects treated with the FARAPULSE™ Pulsed Field Ablation system, to provide continued evidence on the safety and effectiveness of the FARAPULSE™ Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) System when used per hospitals' standard of care, and to learn the effect of the Pulsed Field Ablation treatment on Quality Of Life in a real-world setting. The study will enroll approximately 1000 to 1500 subjects, in up to 100 sites in Europe (with the potential for expansion of the study to Middle East, Africa and/or Asia Pacific).

Study population

Subjects enrolled in the FARADISE study will be clinically indicated for an ablation procedure with the FARAPULSE™ Pulsed Field Ablation system, per physician's medical judgement, and according to the hospitals' standard of care

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Subjects intended to be treated with the FARAPULSE™ Pulsed Field Ablation system for cardiac tissue ablation, per physician's medical judgement, and as per hospitals' standard of care
  2. Subjects who are willing and capable of providing
  3. Subjects who are willing and capable of participating in all testing associated with this clinical study at an approved clinical center
  4. Subjects whose age is 18 years or above, or who are of legal age to give informed consent specific to state and national law

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects with a current interatrial baffle or patch
  2. Subjects with a known or suspected atrial myxoma
  3. Subjects with a myocardial infarction within 14 days prior to enrollment
  4. Subjects with a recent (within 30 days prior to enrollment) Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA)
  5. Subjects who do not tolerate anticoagulation therapy
  6. Subjects with an active systemic infection *
  7. Subjects with a presence of atrial known thrombus *
  8. Subjects with a known inability to obtain vascular access
  9. Subjects who are pregnant or planning to be pregnant
  10. Subjects with atrial fibrillation that is secondary to electrolyte imbalance, thyroid disease, alcohol, or other reversible / non-cardiac causes
  11. Subjects with any prosthetic heart valve, ring or repair including balloon aortic valvuloplasty
  12. Subjects with a to an invasive electrophysiology procedure where insertion or manipulation of a catheter in the cardiac chambers is deemed unsafe per physician's medical judgement, such as, but not limited to, a recent previous cardiac surgery (eg. ventriculotomy or atriotomy, CABG, PTCA/PCI/coronary stent procedure/unstable angina) and/or in patients with congenital heart disease where the underlying abnormality increases the risk of the ablation (e.g., severe rotational anomalies of the heart or great vessels)
  13. Subjects with a of ≤ 1 year per investigator's opinion
  14. Subjects who are currently enrolled in another study or registry that would directly interfere with the current study, except when the subject is participating in a mandatory governmental registry, or a purely observational registry with no associated treatments. Each instance must be brought to the attention of the sponsor to determine eligibility
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.
