CardioFocus ENABLE Investigational Clinical Study

ENdoscopic ABlation using Light Energy

Clinical sites are currently recruiting patients to enroll in the CardioFocus ENABLE pivotal clinical study of the Endoscopic Ablation System (EAS). 
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:

  1. A single catheter ablation with the investigational EAS, a visually-guided, light-energy catheter
  2. Standard drug therapy (antiarrhythmic drugs)

To learn more about the CardioFocus ENABLE investigational clinical study, please contact the study site closest to you from the list below. Check back frequently for additional investigation sites.

Eligibility Criteria

Persons with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation may be eligible for this study.  Other study eligibility criteria include:

  1. 18 to 80 years of age
  2. Frequent episodes of AF
  3. Failed at least 1 drug treatment for AF
  4. Other criteria
