Observational Study to Examine the Procedural and Outcomes of AF Ablation Assisted by STAR Apollo™ Mapping System (NCT05826665)

🟢 Recruiting Interventional Protocol 📊 Observational Clinical Research Sponsor: Kansas City Heart Rhythm Research Foundation

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

STAR Apollo Mapping System is an FDA cleared mapping technology that can analyze the signals collected during the ablation procedure on the 3D mapping system and give the physician further insight into the AF activation patterns which may assist them in identifying areas responsible for maintaining Atrial Fibrillation (AF). The STAR Apollo Mapping System system allows clinicians, after treating the Pulmonary Veins (PV), to collect data from the atria during clinical AF procedures using standard FDA cleared catheters and devices. This study aims to examine the impact of the STAR Apollo Mapping System on procedural and acute outcomes in a multicenter observational study.
