About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Atrial Fibrillation

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosed with Symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF)
  • Selected for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedure by pulmonary vein isolation (PVI)
  • Failed at least one antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) (class I to IV) as evidenced by recurrent symptomatic atrial fibrillation AF, or intolerable or contraindicated to the AAD
  • Willing and capable of providing consent
  • Able and willing to comply with all pre-, post- and follow-up testing and requirements

Exclusion Criteria:

  • AF secondary to electrolyte imbalance, thyroid disease, or reversible or non-cardiac cause
  • Previous left atrium (LA) ablation or surgery
  • Participant known to require ablation outside the PV region (example. cavotricuspid isthmus [CTI] region, atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia, atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia, atrial tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia and Wolff-Parkinson-White)
  • Previously diagnosed with persistent AF (greater than [>] 7 days in duration)
  • Severe dilatation of the LA (LAD >50 millimeter (mm) antero-posterior diameter in case of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE))

Participants with Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAF)

Arm Description

Participants with PAF and who are candidates for catheter ablation will be enrolled.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants with of Primary Adverse Events (PAEs)
Participants with incidence of Primary Adverse Events (PAEs) (within seven (7) days of the initial mapping and ablation procedure) will be reported. PAEs include the adverse events like Atrio-esophageal fistula, cardiac tamponade/perforation, device or procedure related death, major vascular access complication/bleeding, myocardial infarction and pericarditis, phrenic nerve paralysis (permanent), pulmonary vein stenosis, stroke/CVA, thromboembolism, transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
Rate of Freedom from Documented (Symptomatic and Asymptomatic) Atrial Arrhythmia (Atrial Fibrillation [AF], Atrial Tachycardia [AT], or Atrial Flutter [AFL] Greater than Equal to (>=)30 Seconds Within 91-365 days post Index Procedure
Atrial arrhythmia recurrence events will be recorded and included as a study endpoint after a 90-day blanking period; recurrence during the blanking will not be considered treatment failure. In addition, re-ablation will not be recommended during the blanking period.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants who Achieved Acute Procedural Success
Acute procedural success defined as confirmation of entrance block in all clinically relevant targeted PVs after adenosine/ isoproterenol challenge.
Rate of Freedom from Documented Symptomatic Re-Occurrence Atrial Arrhythmia (Atrial Fibrillation [AF], Atrial Tachycardia [AT], or Atrial Flutter [AFL]) >=30 Seconds Within 91-365 days post Index Procedure
Atrial arrhythmia recurrence events will be recorded and included as a study endpoint after a 90-day blanking period; recurrence during the blanking will not be considered treatment failure. In addition, re-ablation will not be recommended during the blanking period.
Change from Baseline in Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality of Life (AFEQT) Total Score
An overall AFEQT score ranges from 0 to 100. A score of 0 corresponds to complete disability (or responding "extremely" limited, difficult or bothersome to all questions answered), while a score of 100 corresponds to no disability (or responding "not at all" limited, difficult or bothersome to all questions answered). Therefore, a positive change in score corresponds to improvement in AF symptoms.
