Safety and Performance of the SpherePVI™ Catheter to Treat Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

A Safety and Performance Assessment of the SpherePVI™ Catheter and the Affera Mapping and Ablation System to Treat Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

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

About This Trial

A prospective, single-arm, single-center study to evaluate the safety, performance, and effectiveness of the SpherePVI™ Catheter for treating paroxysmal AF.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 1. Symptomatic paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation documented by: - A physician's note indicating recurrent AF - At least two electrocardiographically documented AF episodes within 12 months prior to enrollment 2. Failure or intolerance of at least one Class I-IV anti-arrhythmic drug. 3. Suitable candidate for catheter ablation. 4. Age ≥ 18 and \< 75 years. 5. Able and willing to give willing to sign a consent form. 6. Able and willing, and has ample means to comply with all pre-procedure, post-procedure and follow-up testing requirements Who Should NOT Join This Trial: Subjects will not be eligible for the study if any of the following criteria are met: 1. Continuous AF lasting more than 12 months (long-standing persistent AF). 2. AF secondary to electrolyte imbalance, thyroid disease, acute alcohol intoxication, or reversible or non-cardiac cause. 3. Previous left atrial catheter or surgical ablation (including septal closure or left atrial appendage closure). 4. Valvular cardiac surgical/percutaneous procedure (e.g., ventriculotomy, atriotomy, and valve repair or replacement and presence of a prosthetic valve). 5. Any carotid stenting or endarterectomy. 6. Any cardiac procedure (surgical or percutaneous) or percutaneous coronary intervention within 90 days prior to the initial procedure. 7. Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) procedure within the 6 months prior to the index ablation procedure. 8. Awaiting cardiac transplantation or other cardiac surgery within 12 months following the initial ablation procedure. 9. Presence of any type of implantable cardiac defibrillator (with or without biventricular pacing function). 10. Documented thromboembolic event (stroke or transient ischemic attack) within the past 6 months (180 days). 11. Documented left atrial thrombus on imaging. 12. History of blood clotting or bleeding abnormalities. 13. Any condition contraindicating chronic anticoagulation. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
