Study Summary

This trial compares the safety and effectiveness of catheter ablation for PAF with antiarrhythmic drug therapy. The investigational catheter being studied is the NAVISTAR® THERMOCOOL® irrigated-tip catheter. At the time of this study, the NAVISTAR® THERMOCOOL® catheter was FDA-approved for commercial distribution in the U.S. for treating patients with Type I atrial flutter and drug refractory monomorphic ventricular tachycardia post myocardial infarction. The catheter was approved for use in Europe for endocardial ablation for treating cardiac arrhythmias.

Primary Outcome

Chronic success was defined as freedom of documented symptomatic Atrial Fibrillation episodes based on electrocardiographic data and no changes in antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD) regimen during comparable evaluation periods for the THERMOCOOL and AAD (Control) groups through 12 and 9 months of follow-up, respectively.
