Brief Summary

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

This study is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial to investigate whether a linear ablation in addition to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) outperforms PVI alone using pulsed field ablation (PFA) in maintaining sinus rhythm for persistent atrial fibrillation (PerAF)

Detailed Description

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

This study is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial to investigate whether a linear ablation in addition to PVI outperforms PVI alone using PFA in maintaining sinus rhythm for PerAF. Enrolled subjects will be randomized by the ratio of 1:1 into PVI and linear ablation arm or PVI alone arm. Subjects in PVI and linear ablation arm will undergo bilateral PVI, and linear ablations in the posterior wall (PW), mitral isthmus (MI) and cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) using the study device and EIVOM could be performed additionally before or after PFA at the operator's discretion, it is recommended to perform EIVOM first. Subjects randomized to the PVI alone arm will undergo PVI only. If atrial fibrillation (AF) cannot be terminated during ablation, cardioversion will be performed. After ablation, all the subjects will be followed at discharge, 1 month and then at 3-month intervals up to 12 months.

3. Persistent: continuous AF for \> 90 days, i) with a minimum a physician's note confirming the diagnosis AND,within 180 days of Enrollment Date, either a 24-hour or longer continuous ECG recording confirming continuous AF OR Two ECGs showing continuous AF taken at least 90 days apart.
3. Subjects undergoing a first-time ablation procedure for AF.
4. Subjects who are willing and capable of providing ICF and participating in all testing associated with this study.

Exclusion Criteria

1. AF that is secondary to electrolyte imbalance, thyroid disease, alcohol, or other reversible/non-cardiac causes.
2. Left atrial anteroposterior diameter ≥ 6.0 cm by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) within 3 months prior the procedure.
3. Heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 30% by TTE within 3 months prior the procedure.
4. LA thrombus detected by Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) or cardiac CT within one day before the procedure or Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) before atrial septal puncture during the procedure.
5. Current or anticipated pacemaker, implantable cardioverter defibrillator or cardiac resynchronization therapy devices, mechanical valve, interatrial baffle, closure device, patch, or patent foramen oval occlude, left atrial appendage closure at the time of ablation.
6. Any of the following events within 90 days of the Consent Date:

2. Pericarditis or symptomatic pericardial effusion
3. Gastrointestinal bleeding
4. Stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or intracranial bleeding or any non-neurologic thromboembolic event
7. Contraindication to, or unwillingness to use systemic anticoagulation.
8. Subjects cannot be removed from Class I/III AAD for reasons other than atrial arrhythmia.
