Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with symptomatic drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation who are suitable for ablation.

Probably not a fit

Patients who have previously undergone catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation or have persistent forms of AF may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of the QDOT MICRO system combined with the VISITAG SURPOINT module in patients with symptomatic drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Participants will be selected from the REAL AF registry and will undergo an ablation procedure using the QDOT MICRO system. They will be monitored through scheduled assessments at 12, 24, and 36 months post-procedure to evaluate outcomes. The study is non-randomized and multi-center, focusing on real-world effectiveness in a clinical setting.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new effective treatment option for patients suffering from drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar ablation techniques, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
