Brief Summary
\### Study Overview
- Study Name In simple terms, this study involves using a new device to treat a heart condition called "Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation."
- Sponsor The study is sponsored by a company called Shanghai Shangyang Medical Technology Co., Ltd.
- Trial Devices The study will utilize two specialized devices:
- \*\*Nanosecond Pulsed Electric Field Ablation Device\*\*: This device emits special electrical pulses to treat the heart.
- \*\*Magnetoelectric Dual-Positioning Petal Pulse Ablation Catheter\*\*: This is a catheter that allows for precise navigation and treatment inside the heart.
- Study Purpose The purpose of this study is to verify the safety and effectiveness of this new device in treating Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation, with the goal of enabling its widespread use in the future.
- Study Design This is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm target value study. This means:
- \*\*Prospective\*\*: The study looks forward in time, tracking patient outcomes.
- \*\*Multicenter\*\*: The study is conducted simultaneously across multiple hospitals.
- \*\*Single-Arm Target Value\*\*: All patients receive the same treatment, which is then compared against a predetermined target value.
- Sample Size The study plans to enroll 149 patients.
- Primary Endpoint The main goal of the study is to determine how many patients no longer experience atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, or atrial tachycardia symptoms within 12 months after surgery. Specifically, it measures the proportion of patients who do not have arrhythmias lasting more than 30 seconds between 3 and 12 months post-surgery, as confirmed by electrocardiograms and other monitoring methods.
- Secondary Endpoints The study also includes several secondary objectives:
- \*\*Immediate Post-Surgical Ablation Success Rate\*\*: To check how many patients have their atrial fibrillation successfully "isolated" immediately after surgery.
- \*\*Pulse Catheter Evaluation\*\*: To assess the performance and ablation parameters of the catheter.
- \*\*Pulse Device Evaluation\*\*: To evaluate the software operability, operational stability, and hardware connectivity of the device.
- Safety Indicators The study will also monitor the safety of the treatment, including:
- \*\*Primary Safety Endpoint\*\*: The rate of adverse events occurring within 7 days after surgery.
- \*\*Secondary Safety Endpoint\*\*: The incidence of device-related adverse events and serious adverse events.
- Inclusion Criteria Only patients who meet the following criteria can participate in the study:
- Age between 18 and 75 years.
- Diagnosed with Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation.
- Recurrent episodes with noticeable symptoms.
- Documented atrial fibrillation on an electrocardiogram or Holter monitor within the past year.
- Poor response or intolerance to at least one standard antiarrhythmic medication.
- Willingness to sign an informed consent form and comply with all study-related tests and procedures.
- Exclusion Criteria Patients with the following conditions cannot participate in the study:
- Previous atrial fibrillation surgery.
- Presence of left atrial thrombus.
- Inability to use effective contraception during the 12-month study period.
- Enlarged left atrium or other cardiac issues.
- Severe systemic infections or other health problems.
- Recent history of other serious diseases or surgeries.
- Bleeding tendencies or other blood disorders.
- Participation in other clinical trials within the past 3 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Treatment success rate within 12 months after ablation
Refers to the postoperative phase (blank) after 12 months follow-up after process, without the use of class I and class III anti-arrhythmic drugs, by ECG, Holter, or Heart rate monitoring method based on equivalent (including a single lead electrocardiogram) confirmed that there are no last 30 s or af/the room/speed events account for the number of participants into the group of the proportion of the total number.
Refers to the postoperative phase (blank) after 12 months postoperatively, follow up at 3,6,12 month
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Immediate success rate: pulmonary vein isolation after ablation
1 Day of ablation
Other Outcomes (2)
The incidence of early onset (within 7 days of ablation) adverse events
Within 7 days after the ablation
Incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events associated with the study device
Within 12 months after ablation
Study Arms (1)
Single group target value method Arm
EXPERIMENTALThis trial is a prospective, multicenter, single-group target value method study. All subjects are treated uniformly with the pulse ablation system provided in this protocol for paroxysmal AF, and the test results for the main indicators are statistically compared with the target values, a widely accepted standard in professional medicine, and the test results are considered to be attained if the one-sided 95% confidence interval for the test results is not lower than the target values.
Interventions
Routinely placing a coronary sinus electrode catheter, puncturing the interatrial septum, placing one sheath into the left atrium, confirming that the catheter is well in place, and setting the treatment time of the pulse ablation system in advance. Pulmonary vein-by-pulmonary vein ablation using a pulse catheter, waiting for the end of the pulse ablation phase and immediate effect confirmation.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- years of age ≤75 years of age
- The clinical diagnosis was paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
- The disease recurred and the symptoms were obvious before enrollment
- Atrial fibrillation was recorded by body surface electrocardiogram or by dynamic electrocardiogram (including single-lead electrocardiograph) for ≥30 s within 1 year before admission;
- Ineffective or intolerance after treatment with at least one Class I or III antiarrhythmic drug
- Fully understand the treatment plan, and voluntarily sign informed consent, willing to carry out the examination, surgery and follow-up required by the plan.
