Number of Participants Safety Event-free at 12 Months Post Procedure Primary · 12 months

This measure reports the observed safety event -free rate at 12 Months follow up. The safety events are a composite of acute primary safety events (events occurring within seven days post-procedure or hospital discharge, whichever is later), and chronic primary safety events (events occurring through 3- or 12-months post-procedure, as listed below). Acute primary safety endpoint events are defined as the following: * Death * Myocardial infarction (MI) * Vagal Nerve Injury/Gastroparesis * Transient ischemic attack (TIA) * Stroke/Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) * Thromboembolism * Pericarditis

Number of Participants Effectiveness Event -Free at 12 Months Post Procedure Primary · 12 Months

The primary effectiveness endpoint is defined as the event-free rate at 12 months post-procedure. Primary effectiveness events are defined as: * Acute procedural failure * More than one repeat procedure during the blanking period (90 days post index procedure) * Documented atrial fibrillation, or new onset of atrial flutter or atrial tachycardia event (≥ 30 seconds in duration from an event monitor or Holter, or from a 10 second 12-lead EKG) between 91 days and 365 days post index procedure * Any of the following interventions for atrial fibrillation, or new onset of atrial flutter or atrial

Number of Participants Event Free Rate (Secondary) Secondary · 12 Months

The secondary effectiveness endpoint is defined as the event-free at 12 months post-procedure. Secondary effectiveness events are defined as: * Acute procedural failure * More than one repeat procedure during the blanking period (90 days post index procedure) * Documented symptomatic atrial fibrillation, or new onset of atrial flutter or atrial tachycardia event (≥ 30 seconds in duration from an event monitor or Holter, or from a 10 second 12-lead EKG) between 91 days and 365 days post index procedure * Any of the following interventions for atrial fibrillation, or new onset of atrial flutte

Sponsor's own description

To obtain data for the Rhythmia™ Mapping System in conjunction with Boston Scientific Open-Irrigated (OI) Catheters for ablation of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAF) according to current international and local guidelines. Primary objective: To assess acute and long-term outcomes for the Rhythmia Mapping System in conjunction with Boston Scientific Open-Irrigated Ablation Catheters to treat de novo Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation. De Novo PAF is defined as subjects undergoing first ablation procedure for PAF with no prior left atrial ablation (RF, Cryo, Surgical).
