Study Summary

This prospective randomized study will assess the safety and efficacy of FIRM-guided ablation (FIRM+PVI) compared to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) without FIRM, for the treatment of symptomatic atrial fibrillation.

Primary Outcome

Freedom from atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence during the 12 months after the initial AF ablation procedure, after an initial 3 month blanking (healing and stabilization) period.
