Brief Summary

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

Multi-center, open label, prospective clinical study to establish the acute safety and performance of the Cryterion Cardiac Cryoablation System

Detailed Description

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

This is a single-arm, open-label clinical study using a cryoablation balloon device to isolate pulmonary veins during an atrial fibrillation ablation procedure. Cryo is a scientifically proven energy source used to create a thermal injury during endocardial ablation. The investigational device uses current technology with minor design modifications and will be studied to validate similarities in the safety and performance parameters compared to literature.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

PV Cryoablation

Ablation of the ostium of the pulmonary veins (PV) as a means to electrically isolate the veins in the treatment of atrial fibrillation. A cryoablation balloon will be inserted into the left atrium and cryo applications will be administered to create an endocardial thermal injury by using the Cryterion Cardiac Cryoablation System

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

The Cryterion Cardiac Cryoablation System

Intervention Type DEVICE

Cryoablation System that includes a Balloon Catheter, Circular Mapping Catheter, Steerable Sheath and Cryoablation Console. In combination, components of the System will be inserted into the left atrium and a thermal injury at the PV ostium will be created to electrically isolate the veins

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

* Currently scheduled for a de novo ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) defined as AF with self-terminating episodes lasting no longer than 7 continuous days (PAF)

Exclusion Criteria
