The objective of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the CellFX nano-second Pulsed Field Ablation (nsPFA) Cardiac Catheter Ablation System in treating recurrent, drug-resistant, symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF).
This study is a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized clinical investigation. Eligible participants with drug-resistant paroxysmal AF who are clinically indicated for a cardiac catheter ablation procedure will undergo nsPFA ablation with the CellFX Cardiac Catheter Ablation System. The primary endpoints will be assessed at 6 months after the ablation procedure.

The CellFX nsPFA Cardiac Catheter System includes the nsPFA 360 Endocardial Ablation Catheter, CellFX Console, switcher box/adapter, and sensing cable. The System is a proprietary endocardial catheter system designed for use in cardiac electrophysiology procedures to treat arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation. The nano-PFA 360 Catheter ablates cardiac tissue using nonthermal nanosecond pulses of electrical energy. nsPFA is a cell-specific, nonthermal ablation technology that delivers nanosecond-duration pulses of high-amplitude electrical energy to tissue via bipolar electrodes. The pulses disrupt the cell's and internal organelles' ability to maintain cellular homeostasis by creating nanopores in lipid membranes, ultimately leading to regulated cell death (RCD).

Proportion of participants with freedom from primary safety endpoint
The primary safety endpoint is freedom from a primary safety endpoint for the following: * Cerebrovascular accident/Stroke * Thromboembolism * Myocardial infarction * Severe Pericarditis (requiring intervention) * Transient ischemic attack * Vagal nerve injury resulting in esophageal dysmotility or gastroparesis * Major vascular access complications * Bleeding * Pulmonary edema * Heart Block * Permanent Phrenic Nerve paralysis * Device or Procedure-related Death * CellFX System-related or PFA procedure-related cardiovascular and/or pulmonary adverse event that prolongs or requires hospitalization for more than 48 hours, excluding recurrent atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter/atrial tachycardia (AF/AFL/AT) * Cardiac tamponade/perforation * Significant acute kidney injury secondary to hemolysis * Pulmonary vein stenosis * Esophageal perforating complications
Time frame: Within 7 days, 30 days, and 6 months post-ablation procedure
Proportion of participants achieving freedom from treatment failure.
Acute procedural failure is defined as the inability to isolate all targeted pulmonary veins (PV) (minimally assessed for entrance block and, where assessable, exit block) during the index procedure or PV ablation using a non-study device in the left atrium
Time frame: 6 months post-ablation
Proportion of participants achieving acute procedural success
Acute Procedural Success: Ability to isolate all pulmonary veins and no ablation using a non-study device in the left atrium.
Time frame: Immediately post-ablation procedure
