Brief summary

A prospective, single-arm, multi-center, multi-national, non-randomized, post-market study designed to provide clinical data regarding the use of the AcQMap High Resolution Imaging and Mapping System during an atrial fibrillation retreatment ablation procedure. (CLP-AF-004 \[EU\]) A prospective, single-arm, multi-center, non-randomized, pre-market study designed to provide clinical data regarding the use of the AcQMap High Resolution Imaging and Mapping System during an atrial fibrillation retreatment ablation procedure. (CLP-AF-005 \[Canada\])

Detailed description

A prospective, single-arm, multi-center, multi-national, non-randomized, post-market study designed to provide clinical data regarding the use of the AcQMap High Resolution Imaging and Mapping System during an atrial fibrillation retreatment ablation procedure. The patient population includes men and women, eighteen (18) years of age or older. The treatment plan must include evaluation and ablation (as indicated) of pulmonary vein reconnections plus AcQMap guided non-PV substrate ablation. Subject assessments will occur at screening, procedure, hospital discharge, 3-, 6-, and 12-months.

Outcome results

Primary

Number of Participants With Confirmation of Electrical Isolation of All Pulmonary Veins and Elimination/Modification of All Non-PV Targets

At the procedure conclusion, confirmation of electrical isolation of all pulmonary veins and elimination/modification of all non-PV targets as identified by the AcQMap System

Time frame: 12 hours

Population: Individual vein isolation was not documented in the protocol. Subjects leaving the lab in sinus rhythm was the surrogate for vein isolation.
