CONVERGE Post-Approval Study (PAS)

"Epicardial linear lesions will be created endoscopically using the EPi-Sense®-Guided Coagulation System or EPi-Sense ST™ Coagulation System throughout the posterior left atrium and along the pericardial reflections from a trans-diaphragmatic or sub-xyphoid access without any chest incisions. Posterior and other linear lesions such as a roof lesion and mitral valve isthmus lesion will not be created during the endocardial component of the convergent procedure. This will be done endocardially using an irrigated endocardial ablation catheter.~Once the study lesion pattern has been created by coagulating cardiac tissue using the EPi-Sense®-Guided Coagulation System or EPi-Sense ST™ Coagulation System and the endocardial ablation catheter, the pulmonary veins must be evaluated for entrance and/or exit block to confirm isolation. ."
