The study is designed to determine the best practices in the patient pathway, and to analyze pre-procedural, procedural and follow-up workflow data related with ablation of atrial fibrillation where the FARAPULSE™ Pulsed Field Ablation System is used in a commercial and standard of care setting. Workflow-related variables, inclusive of pre-procedural imaging, methods of transseptal access, anesthesia/sedation technique, intracardiac mapping, ablation settings, dosing strategy, lesion sets and general procedure management, will be used to identify predominant workflow schemes that will be associated with patient demographics, procedure-related complications (safety parameters), and one-year effectiveness parameters. The study data can be used for procedural workflow optimization when using Pulsed Field Ablation for the ablation treatment of Atrial Fibrillation based on patient demographics, cardiac anatomy and arrhythmia characteristics.

Association of patient demographics with Index procedure Workflow-related variables
Patient demographics such as age (years), gender, BMI (kg/m²), different comorbidities, LA Volume (ml), PV anatomy, AF type, pre-procedural AF management) will be compared with different index procedure workflow related variables such as pre-procedural imaging, method and location of transseptal access, intracardiac electro-anatomical mapping, imaging techniques, anesthesia/sedation technique, ablation settings, dosing strategy, lesion sets and general procedure management
Time frame: Index Procedure
Association of safety parameters with Index procedure Workflow-related variables
Safety parameters such as device or procedure related serious adverse events (within 7 days onset date) Death; Myocardial Infarction; Stroke; TIA; Peripheral or Organ Thromboembolism; Pulmonary Edema; Unresolved Phrenic Nerve Palsy/Paresis at 12 Months post-Index Procedure; Vascular Access Complications; Heart Block; Gastric Motility / Pyloric Spasm Disorders, Cardiac Tamponade / Perforation; Pericarditis; Severe Hemolysis with Subsequent Renal Injury or Significant Anemia / Within 12 Months onset date: Pulmonary Vein Stenosis; Atrio-Esophageal Fistula) will be compared with different index procedure workflow related variables such as pre-procedural imaging, method and location of transseptal access, intracardiac electro-anatomical mapping, imaging techniques, anesthesia/sedation technique, ablation settings, dosing strategy, lesion sets and general procedure management
Time frame: 12 months
Association of effectiveness parameters with Index procedure Workflow-related variables
Acute and long-term (freedom from AF episodes and freedom from intervention for AF/AFL/AT) Effectiveness parameters will be compared with different index procedure workflow related variables such as pre-procedural imaging, method and location of transseptal access, intracardiac electro-anatomical mapping, imaging techniques, anesthesia/sedation technique, ablation settings, dosing strategy, lesion sets and general procedure management
