Official Title:

Randomized Evaluation of Atrial Fibrillation Treatment With Focal Impulse and Rotor Modulation Guided Procedures (REAFFIRM)

Summary

The study is a prospective, multicenter, randomized study to assess the safety and effectiveness of FIRM procedures followed by conventional ablation including PVI versus a standard PVI procedure for the treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF).

Eligibility

Key Inclusion Criteria:

* At least two (2) documented episodes of persistent atrial fibrillation during prior 3 months
* Refractory, intolerant, or contraindicated to Class I or III anti-arrhythmic medications
* Left atrial diameter \< 6.0 cm

Key Exclusion Criteria:

* Previous AF Ablation
* Presence of structural heart disease
* New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IV.
* Ejection fraction \< 35%.
* History of myocardial infarction (MI) within the past three months.
