Participant Flow

In order to be randomized, subjects must have met the following criteria: 1. Atrial Fibrillation is sustained for at least 5 minutes uninterrupted. 2. Confirmation of Pulmonary Vein reconnection. If Atrial Fibrillation could not be sustained or if Pulmonary Vein reconnection could not be confirmed, the patient was disqualified and were not randomized / enrolled in the study.
