Advanced TecHnologies For SuccEssful AblatioN of AF in Clinical Practice

ATHENA is a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized post-market study. All patients will be treated according to the standard care followed by each center. The protocol requires enrollment of consecutive patients from each center, according to eligibility criteria. During the 12 months follow-up period, clinical atrial fibrillation recurrence, occurrence of all kind of atrial arrhythmias and of all Adverse Events in the study population will be collected. The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate during time a large population of patients with an indication for ablation of AF, collecting data on procedural success in the acute and medium- to long-term follow-up. The primary objective of the study is the determination of up to 20 clinical and procedural parameters predicting the recurrence-free at the medium-long term follow-up in consecutive patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation through a standard of care pathway. The success of the ablation is defined in terms of percentage of patients free from any clinical atrial arrhythmia at a 12-month follow-up from the procedure.
