Overview
Brief Summary
The primary objective is to demonstrate safety and long-term effectiveness of the irreversible electroporation (IRE) system (Circular IRE Catheter and IRE Generator) when used for isolation of the atrial pulmonary veins (PVs) in treatment of participants with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).

Eligibility Criteria
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))
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Participants With Primary Adverse Events (PAEs)
Time Frame: Within 7 days post-procedure on Day 0
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. The primary safety endpoint was the incidence of PAEs (within 7 days of the initial mapping and ablation procedure). PAEs included the following AEs: Atrio-esophageal fistula, cardiac tamponade/perforation, device or procedure related death, major vascular access complication/bleeding, myocardial infarction, pericarditis, phrenic nerve paralysis (permanent), pulmonary vein stenosis, stroke/cerebrovascular accident (CVA), thromboembolism, and transient ischemic attack (TIA).
Kaplan-Meier Estimates of the Success Rate of Freedom From Documented (Symptomatic and Asymptomatic) Atrial Arrhythmia (Atrial Fibrillation [AF], Atrial Tachycardia [AT], or Atrial Flutter [AFL]) Episodes From Day 91 to Day 365 Post Index Procedure
Time Frame: From Day 91 up to Day 365 post index procedure on Day 0
Kaplan-Meier estimates of the success rate of freedom from primary effectiveness failure, that is, documented (symptomatic and asymptomatic) atrial arrhythmia (AF, AT, or AFL) recurrence based on electrocardiographic data (\>=30 seconds on arrhythmia monitoring device) from Day 91 to Day 365 post index procedure, was reported. Acute procedural failure defined as failure to confirm entrance block in all PVs except those that are silent and/or cannot be cannulated post-procedure, use of a non-study catheter for PV isolation, or failure to have PFA delivery with the study catheter due to IRE system malfunctions, was also considered a long-term effectiveness failure.
Secondary Outcomes
- Kaplan-Meier Estimates of the Success Rate of Freedom From Documented Symptomatic Re-Occurrence of Atrial Arrhythmia (Atrial Fibrillation [AF], Atrial Tachycardia [AT], or Atrial Flutter [AFL]) Episodes From Day 91 to Day 365 Post Index Procedure(From Day 91 up to Day 365 post index procedure on Day 0)
- Number of Participants Who Achieved Acute Procedural Success(Day 0 (Day of procedure))
- Change From Baseline in Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality of Life (AFEQT) Total Score(Baseline, Months 3, 6, and 12)
