The purpose of study is to conduct a pivotal evaluation of the EndoPhotonix™ SOLAR™ System and ATRILAZE™ System in order to obtain a labeling claim on the devices for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. The study will test the safety and effectiveness of the EndoPhotonix™ Laser Ablation Systems to photocoagulate cardiac tissue during cardiac surgery, to create electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins and create other electrical isolation lesions in order to treat atrial fibrillation. The surgical procedure will be conducted during concomitant mitral valve repair or replacement surgery or in combination with other cardiac surgery including aortic valve surgery, tricuspid valve surgery, or coronary artery bypass surgery.
The study objective is to generate Level II controlled data to support the expansion of indications for the SOLAR™ System based on 0-30 day data; as well as to support the expansion of indications for the SOLAR™ System and ATRILAZE™ System for the treatment of atrial fibrillation based on 180 days data. The data will be evaluated by comparing post-operative data to the historical control data. The subjects in the study cohort will receive laser ablation therapy using the investigational device during a concomitant surgical procedure.

The protocol calls for the creation of the pulmonary vein isolation lesion through the use of the SOLAR™. The additional lesions are to be created using the ATRILAZE™. At surgeon discretion, the ganglia may be ablated and left and right atrial appendages may be removed.
Freedom from atrial fibrillation by 24-hour 3-lead Holter Monitor at the 180 day evaluation. On or Off Class 1 and III anti-arrhythmic medication
