Brief Summary

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

To generate real-world evidence from the parent study, REAL AF registry, on the use of Thermocool SmartTouch SF (STSF) catheter in ablation for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).

Detailed Description

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

The primary objective of this registry is to evaluate effectiveness and safety of Thermocool STSF catheter to support an indication extension of the STSF catheter using real world data from the REAL AF registry. Subjects included in the registry will be those in which the STSF catheter is used for the treatment of symptomatic PAF in antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) naive patients as an initial rhythm control therapy. The registry will involve retrospective analysis of data prospectively collected from the REAL AF registry. The registry will include consecutive, eligible patients from the REAL AF registry, starting from October 2021 who meet the sub-study eligibility criteria until 344 eligible subjects are identified. Eligible patients from all participating centers in the REAL AF registry will be included, except for sites with standard-of-care rhythm monitoring less than 48 hours and those that do not perform 6-12 month follow up as standard of care.
