Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: Freedom from AF/Atrial Flutter (AFL)/Atrial Tachycardia (AT)

    Freedom from AF/AFL/AT lasting \>30 seconds in duration 6 through 12-months following the ablation procedure in the absence of Class I or III antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs).

    12 months

  • Safety Endpoint: composite acute major adverse event (MAE) rate

    The composite acute major adverse event (MAE) rate, within 30-days post-procedure and deaths after 30-days if death is procedure related.

    30 days

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Composite post-procedure MAE rate (Safety).

    12 months

  • Pacemaker implantation (Safety).

    12 months

  • Overall Serious Adverse Event (SAE) rate (Safety)

    12 months

  • Freedom from AF/AFL/AT in presence of previously failed Class I or III AADs (Effectiveness)

    12 months

  • Freedom from AF/AFL/AT regardless of Class I or III AADs (Effectiveness)

    12 months

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

  • Stable Subject that is scheduled to undergo non-emergent cardiac surgical procedure(s) to be performed on cardiopulmonary bypass including open-heart surgery for one or more of the following: Mitral valve repair or replacement, Aortic valve repair or replacement, Tricuspid valve repair or replacement, and Coronary artery bypass procedures
  • Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction ≥ 30% (determined by echocardiography or cardiac catheterization performed within 60 days of enrollment as documented in patient medical history)
  • Subject is willing and able to provide written informed consent
  • Subject has a life expectancy of at least 5 years
  • Subject is willing and able to return for scheduled follow-up visits.

  • Class IV New York Heart Association (NYHA) heart failure symptoms
  • Prior history of cerebrovascular accident within 6 months or at any time if there is residual neurological deficit
  • Documented ST-segment elevation Myocardial Infarction (MI) within the 6 weeks prior to study enrollment
  • Need for emergent cardiac surgery (i.e. cardiogenic shock)
  • Known carotid artery stenosis greater than 80%
  • Documented AF duration of greater than ten years
  • LA diameter \>7 cm by Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE)
  • Current diagnosis of active systemic infection
  • Severe peripheral arterial occlusive disease defined as claudication with minimal exertion
