Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this observational registry is to prospectively collect procedure efficiency, safety and acute and long term outcome data from catheter ablation procedures as treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, using the following treatment modalities:
- Cryoballoon ablation
- Manual guided RF ablation using Contact Force catheters
- Remote Magnetic Navigation guided RF ablation with e-Contact and high power settings
- Remote Magnetic Navigation guided RF ablation with e-Contact and low power settings
