The Effect and Safety of Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) in Patients With Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAF)-A Prospective Multicenter Single-arm Study

This study is aimed to evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) in Patients with Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAF)

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

This clinical trial is a prospective, multi-center and single-arm Study. It will be carried out in 3 or more clinical trial institutions, and eligible patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation are enrolled. For those patients recruited, pulmonary vein isolation will be performed using pulsed field ablation device (Sichuan Jinjiang Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. Chengdu, China). The safety and efficacy of pulsed field ablation(PFA) in Patients with Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAF) will be studied using ring-shaped pulsed field ablation catheter

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Immediate success rate
Time Frame: during procedure
Procedural success for PAF is defined as the achievement of complete pulmonary venous electrical isolation
during procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Procedural success rate at 12 months after procedure
Time Frame: between 3 months and 12 months after ablation
Procedural success for PAF was defined as the absence of atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter/atrial tachycardia (duration ≥30s) without antiarrhythmic drugs between 3 months and 12 months after ablation
between 3 months and 12 months after ablation
The occurrence of hospitalizations or emergency department visit due to symptoms of atrial arrhythmia at 6-month and 12-month follow-up
Time Frame: at 6-month and 12-month
The occurrence of hospitalizations or emergency department visit due to symptoms of atrial arrhythmia at 6-month and 12-month of follow-up
at 6-month and 12-month
Evaluation of pulsed electric field ablation instrument
Time Frame: baseline
operational stability; Hardware Connection validity; Software operability; degree of satisfaction
baseline
Evaluation of a disposable cardiac pulsed electric field ablation catheter
Time Frame: baseline
Whether the catheter can reach its desired location smoothly; X ray and shadow;development is clear; Whether the conduit bend is adjustable; Whether the electrophysiological signal is clear and stable; When used together with the mapping system, whether mapping and 3D modeling can be carried out; When used in conjunction with the mapping system, can the catheter be located; Is it possible to stimulate normally; Whether the ablation can be performed normally; Were there any blood clots after withdrawal; Is the tube body intact after withdrawal from the body; Surgeon satisfaction
