CardioFocus ENABLE Investigational Clinical Study
ENdoscopic ABlation using Light Energy
This FDA-approved study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of an investigational device for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). As an investigational device, the EAS is only offered through this clinical study and is not commercially available. Up to 25 U.S. clinical sites will participate in the study.
The purpose of the study is to compare two types of treatment for PAF that are designed to treat the symptoms of AF. The treatments being compared are:
- A single catheter ablation with the investigational EAS, a visually-guided, light-energy catheter
- Standard drug therapy (antiarrhythmic drugs)
