Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

* Documentation of symptomatic persistent AF:

* Defined as having a continuous episode that is sustained beyond 7 days documented via consecutive ECG recordings, or
* Defined as having a continuous episode that is sustained beyond 7 days documented by an ECG recording and one doctor note indicating the patient had symptoms consistent with AF
* Age 18 through 80 years old
* Failure or intolerance of at least one Class I or III antiarrhythmic drug
* Subject is able and willing to consent to participate in the study and will commit to completion of all follow-up requirements

Exclusion Criteria

* Longstanding persistent AF, defined as continuous AF greater than 12 month duration
* Left atrial diameter greater than 5.0 cm
* Active systemic infection
* History of thromboembolic event within the past 6 months or evidence of intracardiac thrombus at the time of the procedure
* Prior left atrial ablation attempt, with exception of:

* Any pulmonary vein isolation attempt to treat AF, or
* Successful ablation to treat Wolff-Parkinson White syndrome
* History of left atrial tachycardia
* History of cardiac ablation within 90 days of planned clinical study procedure
* Planned concomitant ventricular ablation
* Cryoglobulinemia
* Structural heart disease of clinical significance including:

* NYHA Class IV Heart Failure
* Diagnosed with NYHA Class III Heart Failure for more than six months at time of the study ablation procedure
* LVEF less than 35%
* Any cardiac surgery (e.g. CABG) within 3 months of the ablation procedure
* Any mechanical heart valve, prior aortic or tricuspid valve replacement (e.g. valvotomy, valve replacement), or tricuspid valve repair
* Severe mitral valve regurgitation or stenosis
* Significant congenital anomaly or anatomy unable to accommodate device
* Prior surgical maze procedure
* Unstable angina
* Myocardial infarction within 3 months of the ablation procedure
* Presence of primum or secundum atrial septal defect
* Anomalous pulmonary venous return
* Prior surgery for congenital heart disease, including atrial septal defect repair
* Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with LV septal wall thickness \>1.5 cm
* Uncontrolled hyperthyroidism
* Thrombocytosis, thrombocytopenia (including history of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia)
* Severe comorbidity or poor general physical/mental health that, in the opinion of the investigator, will not allow the subject to be a good study candidate
* History of blood clotting or bleeding abnormalities
* Contraindication to all anticoagulation (e.g. novel oral anticoagulants, heparin or warfarin)
* Pregnant, nursing or planning to become pregnant during study duration
* Enrollment in another clinical trial without prior approval from Medtronic
* Presence or use of left atrial appendage closure device
* Presence of or planned implantation of a pacemaker, implantable cardiac defibrillator, implantable loop recorder or cardiac resynchronization device with permanent lead placement
* Pre-existing hemidiaphragmatic paralysis
* Life expectancy less than one year
* Known drug or alcohol dependency
* Existing pulmonary vein stent(s)
