Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Percent of Patients Free From AF and Off Class I and III Anti-arrhythmic Drugs as Determined by Holter Monitoring at 6 Months.

    6 Months Post Procedure

  • Composite Acute Major Adverse Event Rate, Within 30 Days Post-procedure or Hospital Discharge

    Major Adverse Events consist of Death within 30 days or beyond 30 days if considered device related, Excessive Bleeding, Stroke, TIA or MI. A clinic visist was performed at 30 days to fully assess the patient for adverse events.

    30 days Post Procedure

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Percent of Patients Free From AF, Independent of Antiarrhythmic Drug Status as Determined by Holter Monitoring at 6 Months.

    6 Months Post Procedure

  • Composite 6-month Post-procedure Major Adverse Event Rate.

    6 Months Post Procedure

Study Arms (1)

AtriCure Bipolar System

EXPERIMENTAL

The AtriCure Synergy Bipolar Ablation system is used to create lesions outlined in the Maze IV procedure during a concomitant open cardiac surgical procedure.

Device: AtriCure Bipolar System

Interventions

Surgical bipolar radiofrequency ablation using the AtriCure Bipolar System

AtriCure Bipolar System
