BACKGROUND:Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a promising treatment for atrial fibrillation. We report 1-year freedom from atrial arrhythmia outcomes using monopolar PFA delivered through 3 commercial, contact force-sensing focal ***:ECLIPSE AF (Safety & Clinical Performance Study of Catheter Ablation With the Centauri System for Patients With Atrial Fibrillation;NCT04523545) was a prospective, single-arm, multicenter study evaluating acute and chronic safety and performance using the CENTAURI system to deliver focal PFA with TactiCath SE, StablePoint, and ThermoCool ST. Patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation underwent pulmonary vein (PV) isolation under deep sedation or general anesthesia and returned for remapping at 90 days to evaluate chronic durability. Freedom from atrial arrhythmia was evaluated continuously through 12 months using standard rhythm monitoring for symptomatic episodes and 24-hour Holter at 6 and 12 ***:Eighty-two patients (74% male, 51.2% paroxysmal, and 58.5% deep sedation) were treated. PV isolation was achieved in 100% of targeted veins (322/322) with first-pass isolation in 92.2% (297/322). There were 4 primary safety events in 4 patients (4.9%, 4/82);1 nonembolic stroke due to exacerbated cardiac tamponade secondary to catheter perforation and 3 hemorrhagic vascular access complications. There were no incidences of adverse event fistula, diaphragmatic paralysis, myocardial infarction, pericarditis, thromboembolism, PV stenosis, transient ischemic attack, or death. Eighty patients (98%) underwent remapping. Optimized PFA cohorts 3, 4, and 5 showed per-patient isolation rates of 60%, 73%, and 81% and per-PV isolation rates of 84%, 90%, and 92%, respectively. One-year freedom from atrial arrhythmia was 80.2% (95% CI, 69.7%-87.4%) for the entire patient sample, including 41 patients who underwent repeat focal PFA with the CENTAURI system at ***:This study demonstrated that optimization
