Brief Summary
The primary purpose of this registry is to obtain real-world clinical experience for the latest and future ablation technologies when used in conjunction with the Carto system in the treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in Asian countries. The ablation technologies include THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH® SF (STSF) catheter with Ablation Index (AI) /Visitag SURPOINT, QDOT catheter, and HELIOSTAR catheter. Additional new ablation and/or mapping technologies may be included in future when they become available in local markets.

Study Arms (2)
Cohort 1
Cohort 1 consists of 2000 subjects undergoing catheter ablation with STSF catheter, in which AI is used to guide the ablation lesion creation.
Cohort 2
Cohort 2 consists of 2000 subjects who undergoing catheter ablation using QDOT or HELIOSTAR catheter.
Interventions
Subjects will undergo catheter ablation using the new technologies, including THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH® SF catheter with Visitag SURPOINT, QDOT catheter and HELIOSTAR catheter when they are used in conjunction with Carto system for AF ablations.
Eligibility Criteria
Study population consists of adults age 18 years or older with symptomatic Paroxysmal and Persistent Atrial Fibrillation who are candidates for ablation
You may qualify if:
- Aged 18 years or older
- Signed informed consent to participate in the study
- Drug refractory symptomatic paroxysmal AF or symptomatic persistent AF for less than 12 months who, in the opinion of the investigator, are candidates for catheter ablation per standard-of-care
- Undergoing AF ablation for the first time
- THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH® SF catheter with Visitag SURPOINT or newer technologies (e.g. QDOT, HELIOSTAR) are used in conjunction with Carto system in the ablation procedure
You may not qualify if:
- Women of childbearing potential who are, or plan to become, pregnant during the time of the study
- The subject has a life expectancy of less than 12 months
- Severe valvular heart disease
- The subject has been enrolled in another investigational study evaluating a medical device or a drug.
