Interventions

  • Sphere-9 Catheter Ablation — DEVICE
    Redo atrial fibrillation ablation performed using the Sphere-9 Catheter in conjunction with the Affera Ablation System and Affera Mapping System. The intervention delivers radiofrequency and pulsed field energy according to the study protocol for treatment of recurrent paroxysmal or persistent AF. All participants receive this device-based ablation procedure.

Study Details

Conquer-AF is a prospective, multi-center, interventional, non-randomized clinical study that will enroll up to 400 subjects at up to 30 sites across the United States, Europe, and Australia. Subjects diagnosed with symptomatic recurrent paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation after a single prior ablation procedure will be enrolled in this study. Each subject will undergo a study index redo ablation procedure using the Sphere-9 Catheter and Affera Ablation System and will be followed for 12 months. The expected total study duration (from time of first enrollment to the exit of last enrolled subject) is approximately 2 years.
