Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects planned for an AF catheter ablation procedure, with a documented history of AF.
  • Diagnosis must be confirmed within 12 months before enrollment.
  • (Repeat ablations) Patient had 1 previous PVI procedure with cryoablation, radiofrequency ablation or pulsed field ablation
  • Subjects between 18 and 75 years of age, inclusive

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who have contraindications to open heart surgery
  • Patients from an Intensive Care Unit
  • Patients with active systemic infection (sepsis)
  • Patients who have had previous ablation in the left or right atrium
  • Patients who are post-heart transplant or who are awaiting cardiac transplantation or other cardiac surgery
  • Patients with cardiac implants that may interfere with device delivery or positioning (e.g. atrial septal defect closure device, left atrial appendage occluder)
  • Patients with mitral valve prolapse or other heart valve abnormalities excepting mild to moderate mitral regurgitation
  • Patients with New York Heart Association Class III or IV heart failure
  • History of a documented thromboembolic event, including stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA)
  • Bleeding disorder history
  • Patients with a known sensitivity to anesthesia or neuromuscular block agent
  • Currently undergoing long-term treatment with steroids, not including intermittent use of inhaled steroids for respiratory disease
  • Myocardial infarction within the last three months
  • Atrioventricular (AV) block II° or III°
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of less than 35%
  • Unstable angina

Treatment and study plan

Globe Mapping and Pulsed Field Ablation System (Globe PF System)

Device

During the procedure, the Globe Catheter will be delivered via standard femoral vein access and transseptal puncture. Anatomical and electrophysiological mapping of the left atrium (LA) will be followed by pulsed field ablation (PFA) to achieve pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Additional PFA or radiofrequency (RF) ablation lesions may be created as deemed appropriate by the Investigator. Intracardiac electrogram mapping with the Globe PF System will be used to confirm PVI.

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of subjects presenting with primary safety events which are device- or procedure-related

    Time frame: up to 3-month visit
