The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the FARAFLEX™ Mapping and pulsed field ablation (PFA) System can safely and effectively treat symptomatic, drug-refractory Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) and Persistent atrial fibrillation (PersAF). The main question it aims to answer is:
Is the FARAFLEX Mapping and PFA System a safe and effective treatment for patients?
Participants will undergo an ablation procedure using the FARAFLEX Mapping and PFA System.

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.
Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.
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.
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.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
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.
The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.
Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
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.
A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.
Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.
A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.

Participants undergo a catheter procedure using the FARAFLEX Mapping and Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) System to treat atrial fibrillation. The catheter is used to map the heart's electrical signals and deliver pulsed field ablation therapy.
Device: FARAFLEX Mapping and Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) System
Catheter used to perform cardiac electrophysiological mapping and deliver cardiac tissue ablation therapy for the treatment of Atrial Fibrillation.

The primary effectiveness endpoint (PEE) is the proportion of Treatment Subjects with Treatment Success through the Day 365 Assessment.
Acute Procedural Success defined as Pulmonary Vein (PV) Isolation and Chronic Success. Chronic Success is defined as freedom from the following after the Blanking Period (60 days): * Arrhythmia: Occurrence of any Detectable Atrial Fibrillation (AF), Atrial Flutter (AFL), or Atrial Tachycardia (AT) * Re-ablation: Any re-ablation for Atrial Fibrillation (AF), Atrial Flutter (AFL), or Atrial Tachycardia (AT) * Cardioversion: Any electrical cardioversion for Atrial Fibrillation (AF), Atrial Flutter (AFL), or Atrial Tachycardia (AT) * Antiarrhythmic Drug (AAD) Use: dose increase from the historic maximum ineffective dose (prior to the ablation procedure) or initiation of a new AAD.
Time frame: Day 0 through the Day 365 Assessment
Atrial Arrhythmia Burden Success Endpoint
Atrial Arrhythmia Burden Success is defined as the proportion of Treatment subjects with atrial arrhythmia burden less than or equal to 0.1% in the time period post-blanking period through 6 months, as measured by LUX-Dx.
Time frame: Post-blanking period (Day 60) through 6 months (Day 180)
Cavo-Tricuspid Isthmus (CTI) Ablation - Acute Procedural Endpoint
Defined as the proportion of Treatment Subjects who underwent a Cavo-Tricuspid Isthmus (CTI) ablation during the Index Procedure, regardless of the atrial fibrillation cohort, with absence of conduction through the cavo-tricuspid isthmus in both directions (bidirectional block), achieved with the FARAFLEX™ Mapping and PFA Catheter only, and confirmed prior to the end of the Index Ablation Procedure.
Time frame: Index Ablation Procedure
Started Jul 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jul 2028, 24 months after the start.
Of 255 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Atrial Fibrillation, half reached primary completion within 22 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 12 and three quarters within 36. This study's planned 24 months is close to that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 1,051 studies reached it within 33 months; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 54.
