Summary
This trial tests a new method to treat patients with irregular heartbeats who haven't improved with drugs. The treatment works by stopping abnormal signals in the heart.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who have symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, have had at least one documented AF episode in the past year, and failed at least one antiarrhythmic drug. It's not for those with persistent AF, previous ablations for AF, severe heart conditions like unstable angina or severe mitral regurgitation, or women who are pregnant.
What is being tested?
The trial tests the VARIPULSE™ Catheter with TRUPULSE™ Generator system's safety and effectiveness in isolating pulmonary veins to treat atrial fibrillation over a period of 12 months.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include complications related to heart rhythm disturbances, issues from catheter insertion such as bleeding or infection, adverse reactions to anesthesia used during the procedure, and possible damage to surrounding structures in the heart.

Other Research
The most common treatments for Atrial Fibrillation (AF) include antiarrhythmic drugs, electrical cardioversion, and catheter ablation. Antiarrhythmic drugs work by altering the electrical signals in the heart to maintain a normal rhythm.
Electrical cardioversion uses controlled electric shocks to reset the heart's rhythm. Catheter ablation, particularly pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), targets the areas of the heart where erratic electrical signals originate, using energy sources like radiofrequency or cryotherapy to create scar tissue that blocks these signals.
The VARIPULSE™ Catheter with TRUPULSE™ Generator is an example of a PVI treatment that uses energy delivery to achieve this isolation. These treatments are crucial for AF patients as they help restore and maintain normal heart rhythm, reduce symptoms, and prevent complications such as stroke.
