Brief Summary

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

Demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Ablacath™ Mapping Catheter and Ablamap® System in patients with all types of atrial fibrillation (AF) including paroxysmal or persistent or long-standing persistent, undergoing and De Novo or Redo procedures.

Phenotype patients and demonstrate the prognostication power of Electrographic Flow (EGF®) maps among all subjects using 12-month follow-up outcomes following EGF-guided mapping and ablation.

Detailed Description

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

Subjects with all types of AF who are candidates for catheter ablation of their AF. The study will enroll up to 400 subjects in 25 centers globally.

Study Groups

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

De Novo Arm: Electrographic Flow (EGF) mapping

Subjects with persistent or long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), coming in for a De Novo pulmonary vein isolation procedure.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Electrographic Flow (EGF) mapping (no ablation)

Intervention Type DEVICE

In addition to standard pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), subjects receive Electrographic Flow™ (EGF) mapping. PVI may be performed using any commercially available platform/catheter.

EGF mapping enables the full spatiotemporal reconstruction of organized atrial electrical wavefront propagation to identify active sources or origins of excitation that may trigger atrial fibrillation (AF). EGF-identified sources with activity above the threshold (≥ 25%) are marked as relevant; however, no EGF-guided ablations are performed during this index procedure. If subjects have AF recurrence after the 90-day blanking period, they may undergo a recurrence procedure and EGF-guided ablation.

Redo Arm: Electrographic Flow (EGF) mapping and guided ablation of EGF-identified sources

Subjects with paroxysmal, persistent or long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) coming in for a redo AF procedure.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Electrographic Flow (EGF) mapping and ablation of EGF-identified sources of Atrial Fibrillation

Intervention Type DEVICE

In addition to standard touch-up of pulmonary vein isolation, subjects receive targeted source ablation guided by Electrographic Flow™ (EGF) mapping. EGF mapping enables the full spatiotemporal reconstruction of organized atrial electrical wavefront propagation to identify active sources or origins of excitation that may trigger atrial fibrillation (AF).

EGF-identified sources with activity above the threshold (≥ 25%) are considered significant and targeted with radiofrequency ablation. The procedure concludes when all EGF-identified sources are eliminated, defined as reducing source activity below the threshold.
