A Study Evaluating the Effectiveness and Safety of Pulsed Field Ablation Using the FARAPULSE™ System for Electrical Isolation of Pulmonary Veins and Superior Vena Cava

brief summary

This study is a prospective, single-center, single-arm clinical trial planning to screen and enroll 200 subjects. It aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pulsed field ablation (PFA) using the FARAPULSE™ system for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and superior vena cava isolation (SVCI) in Chinese patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). Baseline preoperative data, along with intraoperative and postoperative follow-up information, will be collected. The primary endpoint is the proportion of subjects achieving successful PVI and SVCI using solely the FARAPULSE™ PFA system. Secondary endpoints include long-term procedural success rates and various procedural parameters. Additionally, the incidence of adverse events will be recorded as safety endpoints. The study adopts a single-arm target value design hypothesis, and research data will also be compared with historical data from patients treated with radiofrequency ablation for PVI and SVCI to further evaluate the efficacy of PFA. Subgroup analysis will be conducted in patients with heart failure to assess the efficacy and safety of PFA in this population.
