Efficacy and Safety Study on Agilis NxT Introducer in AF Patients (AGILIS)
Ablation Success With the Use of Steerable AGILIS NxT Introducer Compared With Conventionally Used Swartz SL0.
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
To prove if the success rate of curative treatment of atrial fibrillation in left atrial circumferential pulmonary vein ablation is higher by using a steerable transseptal introducer giving access to the left atrium then by using a conventionally introducer with fixed curve; in patients with paroxysmal or persistent symptomatic Atrial Fibrillation.
Primary Endpoint: rate of patients in stable sinus rhythm at 6 Month Follow Up
