Brief Summary

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

The STOP Persistent AF Post Approval Study (PAS) is a prospective, global, multicenter, observational trial.

Detailed Description

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

The STOP Persistent AF Post Approval Study (PAS) is a sub-study to the Cryo Global Registry. The PAS is a prospective, global, multicenter, observational trial. The purpose of the PAS is to describe long-term clinical performance and safety data in the Persistent AF population treated with Arctic Front™ and Freezor™ MAX Families of Cardiac Cryoablation Catheters (hereafter referred to as Arctic Front™ Cardiac Cryoablation Catheter System). This PAS is a condition of the Pre-Market Approval order (P100010/S098) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Up to 400 subjects will be enrolled to ensure 355 are treated. A minimum of 50% of patients will be enrolled and treated in the US. The follow-up duration for this post-approval study will be 36-months.
