Experimental: Treatment Group
Ablation with Multi-electrode Radiofrequency (RF) Balloon Catheter
|
Device: Radiofrequency Ablation
RF ablation using the multi-electrode radiofrequency balloon catheter |
- Incidence of early onset Primary Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 7 days ]Primary Adverse Events (PAEs) occuring within 7 days of an ablation procedure which uses the Multi-Electrode Radiofrequency Balloon Catheter. (Including atrio-esophageal fistula and PV stenosis occurring greater than seven (7) days post ablation procedure.)
- Freedom of arrhythmia recurrence [ Time Frame: 3 - 12 months ]The primary effectiveness endpoint for this study will be freedom from documented asymptomatic and symptomatic Atrial Fibrillation (AF), Atrial Tachycardia (AT), or Atrial Flutter.
