Brief summary

ICY-AVNRT (Intracardiac CrYoablation for AtrioVentricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia) is a prospective multi-center, nonrandomized, single arm, controlled, unblinded, investigational clinical study. The purpose of this clinical study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Freezor® Xtra Cardiac CryoAblation Catheter for the cryoablation of the conducting tissues of the heart in the treatment of patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) using an endocardial approach.

A safety event is defined as the occurrence of any adverse event that is adjudicated by the AE Adjudication Committee as being serious and study ablation procedure-related and/or Freezor Xtra Catheter related that: 1) Resulted in death, 2) Resulted in a life-threatening illness or injury, 3) Resulted in permanent impairment of a body function or permanent damage to a body structure, 4) Necessitated significant intervention, such as major surgery or even intravenous medical therapy (e.g., vasopressors), to prevent permanent impairment of a body function or permanent damage to a body structure, or 5) Required in-patient hospitalization or a prolongation of an existing hospital stay.

Chronic Effectiveness (Through 6 Months) of the Freezor Xtra Catheter for the Treatment of AVNRT Using an Endocardial Approach.

Subjects must have met both of the following acute and chronic conditions to be considered a chronic effectiveness (treatment) success: * Acute Success: The inability to induce more than one echo beat by the same pacing maneuvers that induced AVNRT before cryoablation (with drug provocation if required for induction before cryoablation) at the conclusion of the study cryoablation procedure assessment. * Chronic Success: Lack of documented recurrence of clinical AVNRT during the 6-month follow-up period after the study cryoablation procedure.

Time frame: 6 months

Population: The modified intent-to-treat (mITT) set consists of subjects who signed the ICY-AVNRT consent form and met all Pre-EP and Post-EP study inclusion and no exclusion criteria who had a Freezor Xtra Cardiac Cryoablation Catheter inserted into the vasculature for the purpose of the ICY-AVNRT study.
