Real-world Experience of Catheter Ablation for the Treatment of Paroxysmal and Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Real-world Experience of Catheter Ablation for the Treatment of Symptomatic ParoxysmaL and Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Using Novel CARTO Technologies: REAL AF Registry

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

The primary purpose of this registry is to obtain real-world clinical experience of Paroxysmal (PAF) and Persistent (PsAF) Atrial Fibrillation ablation radiofrequency (RF) technologies. Data from the registry will be used to assess clinical outcomes, including procedural efficiency, safety, and long-term, effectiveness of catheter ablation with novel RF technologies in PAF and PsAF patients.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Symptomatic Paroxysmal (AF episode terminate spontaneously within 7 days) or Persistent (AF sustained beyond 7 days) who, in the opinion of the investigator, are candidates for ablation for AF - 18 years of age or older - De Novo ablation procedure unless it is a repeat for a patient whose index procedure is also in the registry - Able and willing to participate in baseline and follow up evaluations for the full length of the registry - Willing and able to provide willing to sign a consent form, if applicable Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Enrolled in an investigational drug or device clinical trial, or any trial that dictates the treatment plan - Long-standing persistent AF (AF greater than one year's duration) - Having a repeat ablation, unless the subject's index ablation procedure is also included in the registry - In the opinion of the investigator, any known contraindication to an ablation procedure Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
