Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To prove if the success rate of curative treatment of atrial fibrillation in left atrial circumferential pulmonary vein ablation is higher by using a steerable transseptal introducer giving access to the left atrium then by using a conventionally introducer with fixed curve.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To prove if the success rate of curative treatment of atrial fibrillation in left atrial circumferential pulmonary vein ablation is higher by using a steerable transseptal introducer giving access to the left atrium then by using a conventionally introducer with fixed curve; in patients with paroxysmal or persistent symptomatic Atrial Fibrillation.

Primary Endpoint: rate of patients in stable sinus rhythm at 6 Month Follow Up
