HeartLight System for Atrial Fibrillation

This study is looking at how well the HeartLight Endoscopic Ablation System works in people with atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). It's a follow-up study after the device has been approved for use. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib that comes and goes and causes symptoms), and have not responded to at least one anti-arrhythmic drug. The main goal is to see what percentage of participants are free from symptomatic AFib or other fast heart rhythms for about a year after the procedure. The study aims to enroll 250 participants, but its current status is unclear.

Study design
This is a single-arm study, meaning all 250 participants will receive the HeartLight System treatment. It is also open-label, so both you and your doctors will know what treatment you are receiving.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
You will be followed for symptomatic atrial fibrillation or other fast heart rhythms for 12 months after the procedure, starting 91 days after treatment.
