  • Previous surgical or catheter ablation for AF
  • Significant congenital anomaly or medical problem that in the opinion of the investigator would be a contraindication to catheter ablation for AF

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Occurences of Early Onset Primary Adverse Events (PAEs) Within 7 days of the Index Ablation Procedure

    PAE's will include the following adverse events: atrio-esophageal fistula, phrenic nerve paralysis, cardiac tamponade/perforation, pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS), device or procedure related death, stroke/cerebrovascular accident (CVA), major vascular access complication/bleeding, thromboembolism, myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack (TIA), pericarditis, heart block, pulmonary edema (respiratory insufficiency), and vagal nerve injury/gastroparesis.

    Time frame: Within 7 days post index procedure

  2. Freedom From Documented (Symptomatic and Asymptomatic) Atrial Tachyarrhythmias Episodes

    Freedom from documented (symptomatic and asymptomatic) atrial tachyarrhythmias (atrial fibrillation \[AF\], atrial tachycardia \[AT\] or atrial flutter \[AFL\] of unknown origin) episodes will be reported. AFL of unknown origin is defined as all AFL except those Cavotricuspid isthmus CTI dependent AFL as confirmed by 12-Lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and entrainment maneuvers in an evaluation period study.

    Time frame: Day 61-1095 post-index procedure
