Initial clinical experience with the novel catheter showed 100% acute PVI success and acceptable safety and device performance in temperature-controlled ablation mode. There were no deaths, stroke, or unanticipated AEs. Fluoroscopy and procedural times were short and similar or better than reported for prior generation catheters.
