Official Title
Evaluation of QDOT MICRO™ Catheter for Pulmonary Vein Isolation (PVI) in Subjects With PAF
Primary Outcomes
Outcome Description
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. A Primary AEs is an event which occurred within 90 days following initial and repeated ablation procedure using the QDOT MICRO. Primary AEs included: atrio-esophageal fistula and pulmonary vein stenosis.
Outcome Measure
Percentage of Participants With Early Onset Primary Adverse Events (PAEs): Atrio-esophageal Fistula and Pulmonary Vein (PV) Stenosis
Outcome Time Frame
Up to 90 days (post initial and repeated ablation procedure)
Outcome Description
A Primary AEs is an event which occurred within the first week (7 days of the initial and repeated ablation procedure) which included death, myocardial infraction (MI), cardiac tamponade (CT)/perforation, thromboembolism, stroke/cardiovascular accident (CVA), transient ischemic attack (TIA), phrenic nerve paralysis (PNP), heart block, pulmonary edema, vagal nerve injury, pericarditis, and major vascular access complication/bleeding (MVAC).
Outcome Measure
Percentage of Participants With Early Onset PAEs: Death, Myocardial Infraction, Cardiac Tamponade/Perforation, Thromboembolism, Stroke/Cardiovascular Accident , TIA, PNP, Heart Block, Pulmonary Edema, Vagal Nerve Injury, Pericarditis, and MVAC/Bleeding
Outcome Time Frame
Up to 7 days (post initial and repeated ablation procedure)
Outcome Description
Percentage of participants with freedom from documented AF, AT, or AFL episodes or following failure modes: a) Acute procedural: Failure to confirm entrance block in all pulmonary veins post-procedure and use of a non-study catheter to treat left atrial ablation targets and Cavo-tricuspid isthmus; b) Repeat ablation: \>2 repeat ablation procedures with the study catheter during the 3-Month blanking period (Day 0-90) after the index ablation procedure, use of a non-study catheter to treat study arrhythmia ablation targets during the blanking period, and any repeat ablation procedure during the Evaluation Period; c) Antiarrhythmic drug: taking a new AAD for AF or a previously failed AAD at a greater than the highest ineffective historical dose for AF during the evaluation period, were reported.
Outcome Measure
Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Documented Atrial Fibrillation (AF), Atrial Tachycardia (AT), or Atrial Flutter (AFL) Episodes or Other Failure Modes
Outcome Time Frame
Day 91 to Day 365

Outcome Time Frame
Up to 20 months
Outcome Measure
Number of Participants With Unanticipated Adverse Device Effects (UADEs)
Outcome Description
Number of participants with serious non-primary AEs within 7 days (early onset), 8-30 days (peri-procedural) and \>=31 days (late onset) of initial ablation were reported.
Outcome Time Frame

Outcome Measure
Number of Participants With Serious Non-Primary Adverse Events (SAEs) Within 7 Days (Early Onset), 8-30 Days (Peri-procedural) and Greater Than or Equal to (>=) 31 Days (Late Onset) of Initial Ablation Procedure
Outcome Description
Number of participants with bleeding complication (ISTH definitions): a) major, b) clinically relevant non-major and c) minor bleeding were reported. The ISTH classification of major bleeding event is a hemoglobin drop of greater than or equal to (\>=) 2 grams per deciliter (g/dL), transfusion of \>= 2 units (U) packed red blood cells, symptomatic bleed in a critical area, or fatal bleed. Clinically relevant non-major (CRNM) events require prolong hospitalization or result in laboratory testing, imaging, compression, procedure, interruption of the study medication or a change in concomitant therapy. Minor bleeding events are overt bleeding events that do not meet the criteria for CRNM or major bleeding events.
