Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  2. Patients who have failed at least one antiarrhythmic drug (AAD; class I or III, or atrioventricular (AV) nodal blocking agents such as beta blockers and calcium channel blockers) as evidenced by recurrent symptomatic AF, or intolerance to the AAD.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Early Onset Primary Adverse Events
Time Frame: 30 days post-procedure
The primary safety endpoint was the incidence of early-onset primary adverse events within 7 days post the AF ablation procedure; Pulmonary vein stenosis and atrio-esophageal fistula that occurred beyond 7 days post-procedure and development of a significant pericardial effusion within 30 days post-procedure were also considered primary AEs
30 days post-procedure
Incidence of Early Onset Primary Adverse Events for the Intent-to-Treat and As-Treated Population
Time Frame: 30 days post-procedure
The primary safety endpoint was the incidence of early-onset primary adverse events within 7 days post the AF ablation procedure; Pulmonary vein stenosis and atrio-esophageal fistula that occurred beyond 7 days post-procedure and development of a significant pericardial effusion within 30 days post-procedure were also considered primary AEs
30 days post-procedure

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
April 1, 2013

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
