This feasibility study will be conducted to demonstrate the initial safety and effectiveness of the CellFX® nsPFA™ Cardiac Clamp in performing a box lesion around the 4 pulmonary veins as an isolated procedure or as a part of a more extensive surgical ablation set in conjunction with concomitant cardiac surgical procedure.
This study is a prospective, multicenter, single arm, non-randomized, feasibility study. Adult subjects who are clinically indicated for a concomitant cardiac surgical procedure will undergo left pulmonary vein, roof and floor ablations to form a left atrial posterior box. All subjects will return to the hospital between 60-120 days post-surgical ablation procedure to undergo a cardiac electrophysiology study with electroanatomical mapping to assess electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins and left atrial posterior wall

Rate of acute major adverse events (MAEs)
Acute major adverse events (MAEs) include, cardiac death, stroke, myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack, or excessive bleeding.
Time frame: Within 30 days post-ablation procedure
Number of Participants with acute electrical isolation of the bilateral pulmonary veins and left atrial box
The ablation procedure includes pulmonary vein isolation and a series of ablation lines to create a "box lesion" on the posterior left atrial free wall. At the conclusion of both the primary and concomitant procedures, exit and/or entrance block will be performed to confirm complete isolation of the pulmonary veins and the left atrial posterior wall.
Time frame: Within 24 hours post-ablation procedure
Proportion of Participants with one or more SAEs
Long-term safety endpoint for the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events \[Safety and Tolerability\] for subjects having one or more SAEs at each follow-up interval.
Time frame: Up to 12-months post-procedure
Number of Participants with Long-Term Technical Success
Long-term Technical Success of the Pulse Biosciences CellFX® nsPFA™ Cardiac Surgery System is defined as participants having confirmation of electrical isolation of the bilateral pulmonary veins and left atrial box by cardiac electroanatomical mapping 2-6 months post-ablation procedure.
Time frame: 60-120 days following the index procedure
