The study will utilize two specialized devices:

  1. Nanosecond Pulsed Electric Field Ablation Device: This device emits special electrical pulses to treat the heart.
  2. Magnetoelectric Dual-Positioning Petal Pulse Ablation Catheter: This is a catheter that allows for precise navigation and treatment inside the heart.
  • Study Purpose The purpose of this study is to verify the safety and effectiveness of this new device in treating Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation, with the goal of enabling its widespread use in the future.
  • Study Design

This is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm target value study. This means:

  • Prospective: The study looks forward in time, tracking patient outcomes.
  • Multicenter: The study is conducted simultaneously across multiple hospitals.
  • Single-Arm Target Value: All patients receive the same treatment, which is then compared against a predetermined target value.
  • Sample Size The study plans to enroll 149 patients.
  • Primary Endpoint The main goal of the study is to determine how many patients no longer experience atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, or atrial tachycardia symptoms within 12 months after surgery. Specifically, it measures the proportion of patients who do not have arrhythmias lasting more than 30 seconds between 3 and 12 months post-surgery, as confirmed by electrocardiograms and other monitoring methods.
  • Secondary Endpoints

The study also includes several secondary objectives:

  1. Immediate Post-Surgical Ablation Success Rate: To check how many patients have their atrial fibrillation successfully "isolated" immediately after surgery.
  2. Pulse Catheter Evaluation: To assess the performance and ablation parameters of the catheter.
  3. Pulse Device Evaluation: To evaluate the software operability, operational stability, and hardware connectivity of the device.
  • Safety Indicators

The study will also monitor the safety of the treatment, including:

  1. Primary Safety Endpoint: The rate of adverse events occurring within 7 days after surgery.
  2. Secondary Safety Endpoint: The incidence of device-related adverse events and serious adverse events.
  • Inclusion Criteria

Only patients who meet the following criteria can participate in the study:

  1. Age between 18 and 75 years.
  2. Diagnosed with Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation.
  3. Recurrent episodes with noticeable symptoms.
  4. Documented atrial fibrillation on an electrocardiogram or Holter monitor within the past year.
  5. Poor response or intolerance to at least one standard antiarrhythmic medication.
  6. Willingness to sign an informed consent form and comply with all study-related tests and procedures.
  • Exclusion Criteria

Patients with the following conditions cannot participate in the study:

  1. Previous atrial fibrillation surgery.
  2. Presence of left atrial thrombus.
  3. Inability to use effective contraception during the 12-month study period.
  4. Enlarged left atrium or other cardiac issues.
  5. Severe systemic infections or other health problems.

Scientific title: Prospective, multi-center, single-arm clinical study of nanosecond pulsed field ablation system in the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation under the guidance of three-dimensional cardiac electrophysiological mapping system Secondary sponsor:Shanghai Shangyang Medical Objectives of Study: The purpose of this study was to verify the safety and effectiveness of nanosecond pulsed electric field ablation system in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and to provide evidence for product registration and clinical application.

Description for medicine or protocol of treatment in detail: The purpose of this study was to verify the safety and effectiveness of nanosecond pulsed electric field ablation system in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and to provide evidence for product registration and clinical application. This is a prospective, multicenter and single-group target value study. All subjects were treated with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation using the test products provided in this protocol. The test results of the main indicators were statistically compared with the widely recognized standard of professional medicine -- the target value. If the bilateral 95% confidence interval of the test results was not lower than the target value, the test results could be considered to be up to standard.

Primary indicator:Treatment success rate within 12 months after surgery

Measure time point of outcome:Follow up at 3,6,12 month.

Secondary indicator:1)Success rate of immediate ablation Measure method:The proportion of the number of subjects electrically isolated for each atrial fibrillation patient to the total number enrolled after surgery. The verification method was to wait for 20 minutes after successful pulmonary vein isolation, and then confirm pulmonary vein block again.

Secondary indicator 2) Pulse catheter evaluation: Evaluation of catheter operation performance and catheter ablation parameters

Secondary indicator 3) Pulse equipment evaluation:System software operability, system running stability
