PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 7 days

Population: 150 subjects who met Inc/Excl criteria were enrolled. 16 subjects were withdrawn prior to the use of the investigational device, thus,134 were treated. 3 subjects had composite adverse events that were serious and occurred within 7 days of the ablation procedure. These events are part of the primary safety endpoint analysis per protocol.

Primary safety is defined as the incidence of composite, serious adverse events within 7 days post-procedure, regardless of whether a determination can be made regarding device relatedness.

Primary Safety:Incidence of Composite, Serious Adverse Events Within 7 Days Post Procedure
3 participants

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 30 minutes

Population: 134 subjects were treated with the investigational catheter and system with 1 subject failing to pass the bidirectional block inducibility test 30 minutes post ablation. Thus 133 subjects comprised the primary efficacy cohort.

Primary efficacy or Acute success is defined as achievement of bidirectional block in the cavo-tricuspid isthmus and non-inducibility of typical atrial flutter at least 30 minutes following the last RF ablation with the investigational system.

Primary Efficacy
129 participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 months

Population: 134 subjects were treated with the investigational catheter and system with 10 subjects experiencing recurring AFL. Thus 124 subjects comprised the secondary efficacy cohort (freedom from AFL at 90 days).

Secondary efficacy / Chronic success is defined as freedom from recurrence of typical atrial flutter 3 months post ablation. Flutter recurrence will be documented on an ECG (or similar such as Holter, telemetry, rhythm strips, etc.). Repeat ablations, new antiarrhythmia medication (Class Ia, Ic, or III) or increase in the dosage of existing anti-arrhythmic medication (Class 1a, 1c, III) during the 3 months post ablation are considered chronic failures.
