NCT03354663

Brief 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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • 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. SAEs related solely to arrhythmia recurrence (without coexisting conditions such as thromboembolism, worsening heart failure, etc.) will not be considered primary safety endpoint events. The SAEs that will be included in this endpoint are: * Atrial-esophageal fistula * AV block * Cardiac Perforation/ Tamponade * Death * Diaphragmatic paralysis * Gastroparesis * Hospitalization * Myocardial Infarction * Pericarditis * Pneumothorax * Pulmonary edema * Pulmonary vein stenosis * Stroke * Thromboembolism * Transient ischemic attack * Vascular access complications Atrial-esophageal fistula, cardiac perforation/tamponade, and pulmonary vein stenosis that occur \>7 days post procedure through 30 days will also contribute to the primary endpoint.

    30 days

  • Number of Participants With Procedural Success

    The primary effectiveness endpoint is acute procedural success, where acute procedural success is defined as confirmation of entrance block in all pulmonary veins

    0 days

Other Outcomes (19)

  • Average Power Delivered

    During Procedure

  • Index Cases Achieving ≥ 90% Lesions With ≥ 10 Contact Force
