Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age 18 years or older
* Signed Patient Informed Consent Form
* Able and willing to comply with all pre-, post-, and follow-up testing and requirements
* Failure of at least one anti-arrhythmic medication (AAD) for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation\* \[class I or III, or AV nodal blocking agents such as beta blockers (BB) and calcium channel blockers (CCB)\] as evidenced by recurrent symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation\*, or intolerable side effects due to AAD
* Subjects with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF)\*

* PAF is defined as recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) that terminates spontaneously within seven days.

Exclusion Criteria

* Atrial fibrillation (AF) secondary to electrolyte imbalance, thyroid disease, or reversible or non-cardiac cause
* Previous ablation for AF
* History of any valvular cardiac surgical procedure
* Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure within the last six months
* Awaiting cardiac transplantation or other cardiac surgery within the next 12 months
* Left atrial thrombus
* History of a documented thromboembolic event within the past one (1) year
* Diagnosed atrial myxoma
* An implanted implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)
* Significant pulmonary disease, (e.g. restrictive pulmonary disease, constrictive or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) or any other disease or malfunction of the lungs or respiratory system that produces chronic symptoms
* Significant congenital anomaly or medical problem that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude enrollment in this study
* Women who are pregnant (by history of menstrual period or pregnancy test if the history is considered unreliable)
* Acute illness or active systemic infection or sepsis
* Unstable angina
* Myocardial infarction within the previous two months
* Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<40% as determined by pre-procedure transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE)
* History of blood clotting or bleeding abnormalities
* Contraindication to anticoagulation (i.e. heparin or warfarin)
* Contraindication to computed tomography/magnetic resonance angiography (CT/MRA) procedure
* Life expectancy less than 12 months
* Enrollment in an investigational study evaluating another device or drug
* Uncontrolled heart failure or New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV heart failure
* An intramural thrombus tumor, or other abnormality that precludes catheter introduction or manipulation
* Presence of a condition that precludes vascular access
* Left atrial size ≥ 50 mm as determined by pre-procedure TTE
