What this study is testing

What it's testing
The primary objective of this clinical investigation is to demonstrate the safety and 12-month effectiveness of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and posterior LA wall isolation in the treatment of subjects with symptomatic paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation using the pulsed field ablation with the VARIPULSE™ catheter and the TRUPULSE™ generator.
