Summary

This study tested a special catheter and generator system to treat people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib), a condition that causes irregular heartbeats. The treatment uses heat energy to isolate the veins that trigger AFib. 135 participants who did not respond to medication were treated. The study measured safety and how well the procedure prevented AFib episodes for up to a year.
