Brief summary

This study is aimed to evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) in Patients with Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAF)

Detailed description

This clinical trial is a prospective, multi-center and single-arm Study. It will be carried out in 3 or more clinical trial institutions, and eligible patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation are enrolled. For those patients recruited, pulmonary vein isolation will be performed using pulsed field ablation device (Sichuan Jinjiang Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. Chengdu, China). The safety and efficacy of pulsed field ablation(PFA) in Patients with Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAF) will be studied using ring-shaped pulsed field ablation catheter

Interventions

DEVICEPulsed Field Ablation

pulmonary vein isolation will be performed with ring-shaped pulsed field ablation catheter directed by integrated three-dimensional mapping system

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Immediate success rateduring procedureProcedural success for PAF is defined as the achievement of complete pulmonary venous electrical isolation

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Procedural success rate at 12 months after procedurebetween 3 months and 12 months after ablationProcedural success for PAF was defined as the absence of atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter/atrial tachycardia (duration ≥30s) without antiarrhythmic drugs between 3 months and 12 months after ablation
The occurrence of hospitalizations or emergency department visit due to symptoms of atrial arrhythmia at 6-month and 12-month follow-upat 6-month and 12-monthThe occurrence of hospitalizations or emergency department visit due to symptoms of atrial arrhythmia at 6-month and 12-month of follow-up
Evaluation of pulsed electric field ablation instrumentbaselineoperational stability; Hardware Connection validity; Software operability; degree of satisfaction
Evaluation of a disposable cardiac pulsed electric field ablation catheterbaselineWhether the catheter can reach its desired location smoothly; X ray and shadow;development is clear; Whether the conduit bend is adjustable; Whether the electrophysiological signal is clear and stable; When used together with the mapping system, whether mapping and 3D modeling can be carried out; When used in conjunction with the mapping system, can the catheter be located; Is it possible to stimulate normally; Whether the ablation can be performed normally; Were there any blood clots after withdrawal; Is the tube body intact after withdrawal from the body; Surgeon satisfaction
