Official title
Pulmonary Vein Isolation With the Single Shot Endoscopic Ultra-Compliant Pulsed Field Ablation Balloon for the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation
Overview
This is a prospective, single-arm First-in-Human study to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the CardioFocus OptiShot Pulsed Field Ablation System for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). Patients with symptomatic paroxysmal (short-duration) AF who have not had a previous catheter ablation for AF will be considered for the study. Patients will be followed for one year after the initial ablation procedure.
Detailed description
This is a prospective, single-arm First-in-Human study to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the CardioFocus OptiShot Pulsed Field Ablation System for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). Patients with symptomatic paroxysmal AF who are undergoing first-time pulmonary vein isolation will be considered for the study. Patients will be followed for one year after the initial ablation procedure.
