简要总结
The proposed pilot study is a prospective, randomized, single-center feasibility study, enrolling 200 patients with symptomatic paroxysmal AF. Per protocol, 100 patients will undergo a FARAPULSE electroporation PVI and 100 patients will receive standard AF medical treatment.
Prior enrollment, all patients will be informed on the risk and benefits of the PVI procedure as well as the medical treatment. In addition, particular information on the rationale of the study, including a detailed risk/benefit analysis, will be provided to all patients.
