Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
Paroxysmal:
* Physician's note indicating recurrent self-terminating AF with ≥ 2 episodes of PAF within the 6 months prior to enrollment AND
* One electrocardiographically documented PAF episodes within 12 months prior to enrollment.
Persistent: Continuous AF sustained beyond 7 days and less than 1 year that is documented by
* Physician's note, AND either
* 24-hour Holter within 180-days prior to enrollment, showing continuous AF, OR
* Two electrocardiograms (from any form of rhythm monitoring) showing continuous AF:
* That are taken at least 7 days apart but less than 12 months apart
* If electrograms are more than 12 months apart, there must be one or more Sinus Rhythm recordings in between or within 12 months prior to consent/enrollment
* The most recent electrocardiogram must be within 180 days of enrollment.
NOTE: Documented evidence of the AF episode must either be continuous AF on a 12-lead ECG or include at least 30 seconds of AF from another ECG device.

3. At least 18 years of age
4. Able and willing to comply with all trial requirements including pre-procedure, post- procedure, and follow-up testing and requirements
5. Informed of the nature of the trial, agreed to its provisions, and has provided written informed consent as approved by the Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee (IRB/EC) of the respective clinical trial site.
Exclusion Criteria
2. Arrhythmia due to reversible causes including thyroid disorders, acute alcohol intoxication, electrolyte imbalance, severe untreated sleep apnea, and other major surgical procedures in the preceding 90 days
3. Participant known to require ablation beyond PVI at the time of consent (Main study only)
4. Known presence of cardiac thrombus
5. Left atrial diameter ≥ 5.5 cm (anteroposterior diameter)

8. Body mass index \> 40 kg/m2
9. Pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant during the clinical investigation follow-up period
10. Patients who have had a ventriculotomy or atriotomy within the preceding 28 days of procedure,
11. Myocardial infarction (MI), acute coronary syndrome, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or valve or coronary bypass grafting surgery within preceding 90 days
12. Unstable angina
13. Stroke or TIA (transient ischemic attack) within the last 90 days

23. Patients with prosthetic valves
24. Patients with a myxoma
25. Patients with an interatrial baffle or patch as the transseptal puncture could persist and produce an iatrogenic atrial shunt
26. Stent, constriction, or stenosis in a pulmonary vein
27. Rheumatic heart disease
28. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
29. Diagnosed with amyloidosis or atrial amyloidosis
30. Active systemic infection

32. Severe pulmonary disease (e.g., restrictive pulmonary disease, constrictive or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) or any other disease or malfunction of the lungs or respiratory system that produces severe chronic symptoms
33. Presence of an implantable therapeutic cardiac device including permanent pacemaker, biventricular pacemaker, or any type of implantable cardiac defibrillator (with or without biventricular pacing function) or planned implant of such a device for any time during the follow-up period. Presence of an implantable loop recorder is acceptable as long as it is removed prior to insertion of the investigational device.
34. Presence of an implanted LAA closure device or plans to have an LAA closure device implanted during the follow-up period
35. Patient is currently participating in another clinical trial or has participated in a clinical trial within 30 days prior to screening that may interfere with this clinical trial without pre-approval from this study Sponsor
36. Unlikely to survive the protocol follow up period of 12 months
37. Presence of other medical, anatomic, comorbid, social, or psychological conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, could limit the subject's ability to participate in the clinical investigation or to comply with follow-up requirements, or impact the scientific soundness of the clinical investigation results.
