Overview
Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the AtriCure CryoICE system in performing the Cox-Maze III lesion set, in conjunction with Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) exclusion using the AtriClip device.
Detailed Description
The AtriCure CryoICE Ablation System is being studied to ablate cardiac tissue during surgery for the treatment of Persistent and Long-standing Persistent atrial fibrillation in open concomitant cardiac surgery.
The effectiveness of the device will be demonstrated by establishing that the device effectively eliminates persistent and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation in a clinically significant proportion of treated patients.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: Freedom from AF/Atrial Flutter (AFL)/Atrial Tachycardia (AT)
Time Frame: 12 months
Freedom from AF/AFL/AT lasting \>30 seconds in duration 6 through 12-months following the ablation procedure in the absence of Class I or III antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs).
Safety Endpoint: composite acute major adverse event (MAE) rate
Time Frame: 30 days
The composite acute major adverse event (MAE) rate, within 30-days post-procedure and deaths after 30-days if death is procedure related.
Secondary Outcomes

- Overall Serious Adverse Event (SAE) rate (Safety)(12 months)
- Atrial Fibrillation Effect on Quality-of-Life (AFEQT) Score (Effectiveness)(12 months)
- Acute procedural success (Effectiveness)(Intra-operative period)
- Pacemaker implantation (Safety).(12 months)
- Freedom from AF/AFL/AT in presence of previously failed Class I or III AADs (Effectiveness)(12 months)
- Freedom from AF/AFL/AT regardless of Class I or III AADs (Effectiveness)(12 months)
