Convergence Of Epicardial And Endocardial Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation For The Treatment Of Symptomatic Persistent AF
This is a multi-center, open label, randomized pivotal study evaluating the safety and
efficacy of the EPi-Sense-AF Guided Coagulation System for the treatment of persistent AF
patients, refractory or intolerant to at least one Class I and/or III Anti Arrhythmic Drug
(AAD).
efficacy of the EPi-Sense-AF Guided Coagulation System for the treatment of persistent AF
patients, refractory or intolerant to at least one Class I and/or III Anti Arrhythmic Drug
(AAD).
The objective of this randomized pivotal study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the
AtriCure EPi-Sense®-AF Guided Coagulation System with VisiTrax® for the treatment of
symptomatic persistent Atrial Fibrillation (AF) patients, refractory or intolerant to at
least one Class I or Class III anti-arrhythmic drug (AAD). 153 subjects from up to 27 US and
3 OUS sites. Randomized 2:1.
The primary efficacy endpoint is success or failure to be AF/AT/AFL free absent class I and
III AADs except for a previously failed or intolerant class I or III AAD with no increase in
dosage following the 3-month blanking period through the 12-month post procedure follow-up
visit.
The primary safety endpoint is the incidence of major adverse events (MAEs) listed in the
protocol for subjects undergoing the convergent procedure for the procedural to 30-day post
procedure time period.
