* Signed Patient Informed Consent Form.
* Age 18 years or older.
* Able and willing to comply with all pre-, post- and follow-up testing and requirements.

Exclusion Criteria

* Previous ablation for atrial fibrillation.
* Patients on amiodarone therapy at any time during the previous six (6) months.
* AF episodes that last longer than 30 days and are terminated via cardioversion.
* Any valvular cardiac surgical procedure.
* CABG procedure within the last 180 days (six months).
