Detailed Description

The DISRUPT-AF Registry is an observational, prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, real-world registry designed to obtain clinical experience with the Farapulse Pulsed Field Ablation System for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). All types of AF including paroxysmal, persistent and long standing persistent may be included.

The registry has three cohorts: 1) Acute Arm, 2) Symptomatic Monitoring Only Arm, and 3) Full Monitoring Arm. In the Acute Arm, patient assessments will occur at pre- procedure and procedure visits. In both the Symptomatic Monitoring Only Arm and the Full Monitoring Arm, patient assessments will occur at pre- procedure, procedure, 3 months, and 1 year post ablation. Additionally, the Full Monitoring Arm will assess for asymptomatic recurrence at 6- and 12-months post-ablation.

Sites will be assigned to an arm in which they will enroll under based on their practices current Standard of Care. Sites can only participate in one arm.

The primary purpose of the registry is to assess clinical outcomes, including procedural efficiency, safety, and long-term effectiveness of pulsed field ablation (PFA) in the treatment of patients with AF. Also, to assess the effect of PFA technology implementation on practice patterns, operational workflow and operator experience.

The registry will utilize real world clinical data obtained from the use of commercially available technologies under the authority of a health care practitioner within a legitimate practitioner-patient relationship.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Acute Arm
Data will be collected at pre-ablation/baseline and at time of the ablation procedure. Sites should follow the subjects per their standard of care and at a minimum report any acute onset procedure or device-related complications through 30-days post procedure. Data collection will include procedural workflow, procedural outcomes, and acute onset procedure or device-related complications through 30 days.
Device: Pulsed Field Ablation
Ablation using the Boston Scientific Farapulse Pulsed Field Ablation System for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF)
Symptomatic Monitoring Only Arm (SMO)
Data will be collected at pre-ablation/baseline, the ablation procedure, a 3-Month post-ablation office visit and 12-Months post-ablation (monitoring is triggered for symptomatic recurrences only). Data collection will include procedural workflow, procedural outcomes, acute, mid, and late onset procedure or device related complications, and symptomatic recurrence.
Device: Pulsed Field Ablation
Ablation using the Boston Scientific Farapulse Pulsed Field Ablation System for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF)
Full Monitoring Arm (FM)
Data will be collected at pre-ablation/baseline, the ablation procedure, a 3-Month post-ablation office visit, interim continuous monitoring for asymptomatic arrhythmia recurrence at 6- and 12-Months post-ablation as well as monitoring as needed for symptomatic recurrences, and a 12-Month post-ablation office visit. Data collection will include procedural workflow, procedural outcomes, acute, mid, and late onset procedure or device related complications, symptomatic recurrence as well as asymptomatic recurrence.
