About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Atrial Fibrillation

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Main Inclusion Criteria:

  • Currently scheduled for a de novo ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) defined as AF with self-terminating episodes lasting no longer than 7 continuous days (PAF)

Main Exclusion Criteria:

  • In the opinion of the Investigator, any known contraindication to an AF ablation, Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE). or anticoagulation
  • Any duration of continuous AF lasting longer than 7 days
  • History of previous left atrial ablation or surgical treatment for Atrial Fibrillation/Atrial Flutter/Atrial Tachycardia (AF/AFL/AT)
  • More than four (4) electrical cardioversions in the year prior to enrollment excluding cardioversions performed within 24 hours of arrhythmia onset.
  • Significant structural heart disease or implanted cardiac devices

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

PV Cryoablation

Arm Description

Ablation of the ostium of the pulmonary veins (PV) as a means to electrically isolate the veins in the treatment of atrial fibrillation. A cryoablation balloon will be inserted into the left atrium and cryo applications will be administered to create an endocardial thermal injury by using the Cryterion Cardiac Cryoablation System

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Safety Outcome: Percentage of Participants With Procedure Related Adverse Events OR Device Related Adverse Events OR Serious Adverse Device Effects
Percentage of participants with procedure related adverse events OR device related adverse events OR Serious Adverse device effects including: Death, Myocardial Infarction, Cardiac perforation/pericardial tamponade, Cerebral Infarct or systemic embolism, Major bleeding requiring transfusion of blood products, Mitral or tricuspid valvular damage, phrenic nerve damage causing persistent diaphragmatic paralysis, Symptomatic pulmonary vein stenosis, atrio-esophageal fistula, Air embolism leading to life-threatening event, other serious adverse device effects (SADEs)
Acute Procedural Success
Percentage of patients achieving pulmonary vein isolation defined as entrance and exit block for each of the targeted pulmonary veins following the last ablation application.
12 Month Treatment Success - Percentage of Subjects Free From Arrhythmias at 12 Months
A treatment failure is defined as a subject being an acute procedural failure, having more than one repeat procedure during the 90-day blanking period or having a documented, symptomatic episode(s) of atrial fibrillation or atrial tachycardia, between 91 and 365 days post index procedure. Occurrence or recurrence of a right atrial arrhythmia is not considered a treatment failure post the 90-day blanking period

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Safety Outcome: Number of Procedure-related or Device Related Adverse Events.
All procedure-related or device related adverse events with causal relationship
Percentage of Subjects With Isolation Immediately Post Ablation and With Reconnection During the Entrance/Exit Block Testing
Percentage of subjects that present PV isolation immediately after ablation but show reconnection after 30 minutes during entrance/exit block testing. This outcome is only measured in subjects that were enrolled under the protocol that required a 30 minute waiting period between isolation and verification of isolation.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Multi-center, open label, prospective clinical study to establish the acute safety and performance of the Cryterion Cardiac Cryoablation System
Detailed Description
This is a single-arm, open-label clinical study using a cryoablation balloon device to isolate pulmonary veins during an atrial fibrillation ablation procedure. Cryo is a scientifically proven energy source used to create a thermal injury during endocardial ablation. The investigational device uses current technology with minor design modifications and will be studied to validate similarities in the safety and performance parameters compared to literature.
