NCT05152966

Brief Summary

The objective of this safety and feasibility study is to assess whether the endocardial creation of electrically nonconductive lesions via PEF catheter ablation applied using the FARAPULSE Cardiac Ablation System Plus is a feasible and safe treatment for PersAF and associated AFL

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Composite Safety Endpoint;Proportion of Intent to Treat Subjects With One or More of the Specified Device or Procedure Related SAEs

    Proportion of Intent to Treat subjects with one or more of the specified device or procedure related SAEsEndpoint(CSE) defined as the incidence of the following early-onset serious adverse events (SAEs) which are device- or procedure-related, as adjudicated by the Clinical Events and Data Monitoring Committee (CEDMC). Atrioesophageal fistula and PV stenosis components will be assessed for occurrence at any time during follow-up.

    7 days

  • Composite Safety Endpoint;Proportion of Intent to Treat Subjects With One or More of the Specified Device or Procedure Related SAEs

    Proportion of Intent to Treat subjects with one or more of the specified device or procedure related SAEsEndpoint(CSE) defined as the incidence of the following late-onset serious adverse events (SAEs) which are device- or procedure-related, as adjudicated by the Clinical Events and Data Monitoring Committee (CEDMC).
