All
Target Recruitment
142
Inclusion Criteria
  • Diagnosed with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) (Physician's note indicating recurrent self-terminating atrial fibrillation [AF]). At least one electrocardiographically documented AF episode within twelve (12) months prior to enrollment. Electrocardiographic documentation may include, but is not limited to, electrocardiogram (ECG), Holter monitor, or telemetry strip
  • Failed at least one Class I or Class III antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) as evidenced by recurrent symptomatic AF, contraindicated or intolerable to both Class I and Class III AAD
  • Able and willing to comply with all pre-procedure, post-procedure, and follow-up testing and visit requirements
  • Willing and capable of providing consent
Exclusion Criteria
  • AF secondary to electrolyte imbalance, thyroid disease, or reversible or non-cardiac cause (Example, untreated documented obstructive sleep apnea and acute alcohol toxicity)
  • Previous left atrium (LA) ablation or surgery
  • Participants known to require ablation outside the pulmonary vein (PV) region (atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia, atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia, atrial tachycardia, atrial flutter of unknown origin, ventricular tachycardia and Wolff-Parkinson-White)
  • Previously diagnosed with persistent AF (greater than [>] 7 days in duration)
  • Severe dilatation of the LA (documented LAD >50 millimeters [mm] antero-posterior diameter by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) within 6 month prior to enrollment)

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants with Long Term Effectiveness Without Antiarrhythmic Drug (AAD) Use91-365 days post index procedure

Long term effectiveness is defined as freedom more than or equal to (\>=) 30 seconds from documented asymptomatic and symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF), atrial tachycardia (AT), and atrial flutter (AFL) of unknown origin based on electrocardiographic data during the effectiveness evaluation period.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants with AEsUp to 12 months

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or untoward clinical signs (including abnormal laboratory findings) occurring during a clinical study, whether or not related to the study device or ablation procedure.

Number of Participants with SAEsUp to 12 months

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or untoward clinical signs (including abnormal laboratory findings) occurring during a clinical study, whether or not related to the study device or ablation procedure.

Number of Participants with Acute Procedural SuccessUp to 12 months

Acute Procedural Success defined as confirmation of entrance block in all clinically relevant targeted pulmonary vein (PVs) after adenosine/ isoproterenol challenge. Touching up with focal catheter will be considered as acute procedural failure.

Number of Participants with Primary Adverse Events (PAEs)Within 7 days of ablation procedure

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or untoward clinical signs (including abnormal laboratory findings) occurring during a clinical study, whether or not related to the study device or ablation procedure.

Number of Participants with Rate of PVUp to 12 months

Rate of PV ablation by a non-study catheter (touch-up) among all clinically relevant targeted PVs and by subject.

Number of Participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Within 7 days, 8-30 Days and More Than 30 Days of Initial Ablation ProcedureWithin 7 days, 8-30 days and more than (>) 30 days of initial ablation procedure

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or untoward clinical signs (including abnormal laboratory findings) occurring during a clinical study, whether or not related to the study device or ablation procedure.

Number of Participants with Acute ReconnectionUp to 12 months

Acute reconnection identified by adenosine/isoproterenol challenge. Among all clinically relevant targeted PVs and by subject.

Number of Participants with Rate of Repeated AblationUp to 12 months

Rate of repeated ablation within the 12 months follow-up period, including timing (blanking period or after blanking) and rate of PV reconnection.
