Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- History of recurrent, symptomatic, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), defined as atrial fibrillation (AF) that terminates spontaneously or with intervention (either procedure or drug therapy) within seven days of onset. Minimum documentation includes at least one AF episode electrocardiographically documented and at least one additional symptomatic recurrence with or without electrocardiographic documentation, within 365 days prior to enrollment.
- Subjects who are eligible for an ablation procedure for paroxysmal AF according to international and local guidelines on catheter ablation of AF.
- Subjects refractory or intolerant to at least one Beta Blocker, Calcium Channel Blocker, class I or III antiarrhythmic medication taken for the treatment of AF/AT (Atrial Tachycardia)/AFL (Atrial Flutter) or contraindicated to any class I or III antiarrhythmic medications, Beta Blocker or Calcium Channel Blocker.
- Subjects who are willing and capable of providing informed consent.
- Subjects who are willing and capable of participating in all testing associated with this clinical investigation at an approved clinical investigational center.
- Subjects whose age is 18 years or above, or who are of legal age to give informed consent specific to local and national law.
Exclusion
- Any known contraindication to an AF ablation or anticoagulation
- Continuous AF lasting longer than seven days from onset (no episodes within 365 days from enrollment)
- History of previous LA ablation or surgical treatment for AF/AT/AFL
- AF secondary to electrolyte imbalance, thyroid disease, or reversible or non-cardiac cause
- Subjects with life expectancy ≤ 6 months

- Left ventricular ejection fraction \< 35% based on the most recent imaging (≤ 180 days prior to enrollment)\*
- LA diameter \> 5.5 cm or LA volume \>50 ml/m² indexed based on the most recent imaging (≤ 180 days prior to enrollment)\*
- Heart failure with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV
- Previous cardiac surgery (e.g. ventriculotomy or atriotomy, CABG, PTCA, stent procedure) within 90 days prior to enrollment
- Implantable cardiac device procedures (e.g. PM, ICD, CRT) within 30 days prior to enrollment
- Severe valvular disease or presence of a prosthetic - mechanical or biological - heart valve in the LA (not including valve repair and annular rings)
- Severe mitral valve regurgitation or stenosis
- Known or pre-existing severe pulmonary vein stenosis
- Interatrial baffle, closure device, patch, or patent foramen ovale (PFO) occluder
- Presence of LA appendage occlusion device
- Presence of any pulmonary vein stents
- Unstable angina or ongoing myocardial ischemia
- Previous myocardial infarction within 90 days prior to enrollment
- Vena cava embolic protection filter devices and/or known femoral thrombus;
- Known left atrial thrombus, myxoma, or intracardiac mural thrombus
- History of blood clotting or bleeding disease
- Any prior history of documented cerebral infarct, TIA, or systemic embolism \[excluding a post-operative deep vein thrombosis (DVT)\] ≤180 days prior to enrollment
- Active systemic infection
- Pregnant, lactating (current or anticipated during study follow up), or women of childbearing potential who are, or plan to become, pregnant during the time of the study (method of assessment upon physician's discretion)
- Subjects who are currently enrolled in any other concurrent study, with the exception of local mandatory governmental registries and observational studies/registries, without written approval from the sponsor
