Summary

This trialis testing a new medical device to safely treat PsAF.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-80 with symptomatic, drug-resistant persistent atrial fibrillation (lasting over 7 days but less than a year). Participants must be scheduled for an ablation procedure and have failed at least one antiarrhythmic drug. Exclusions include severe heart conditions, previous ablations or cardiac surgeries, clotting disorders, extreme obesity (BMI > 40), and other health issues that could affect the study.
What is being tested?
The study compares two systems: Adagio PFA and PFCA in treating persistent atrial fibrillation. It's a first-in-human trial to assess safety and performance of these new ablation technologies. Patients will be randomly assigned to either treatment arm in multiple centers.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include complications from the ablation such as bleeding or infection at the site of catheter insertion, damage to heart tissue or blood vessels, adverse reactions to anesthesia used during the procedure, thromboembolic events like stroke, and arrhythmias.
