Study Inclusion Criteria
Subjects for this study must meet ALL of the following criteria:
Suitable candidate for intra-cardiac mapping and ablation for arrhythmias.
History of recurrent symptomatic PAF1 WITH ≥2 episodes reported within the 365 days (12) months prior to enrollment.
At least one episode of AF documented by Holter monitor, rhythm strip, trans-telephonic monitor (TTM), or 12-lead ECG prior to enrollment
Refractory to at least one Class I - IV anti-arrhythmic drug (AAD)
Eighteen (18) years of age or above
Competent and willing to provide written informed consent to participate in the study and agree to comply with the follow-up visits and evaluation.
Study Exclusion Criteria
Candidates will be excluded from the study if any of the following conditions apply:
Previous left atrial ablation procedure
Intracardiac thrombus, tumor or other abnormality that precludes catheter introduction and placement
Known severe cerebrovascular disease or history of cerebrovascular event (within 1 month)
Patients with severely impaired kidney function as measured by a Cockcroft-Gault Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)3 with a GFR ≤ 29. This is calculated as follows for males:
GFR = (140 - age) x weight x .85 (for females) PCr x 72 where age is specified in years, weight in kg, and PCr is Serum Creatinine in mg/dL Female GFR is reduced by 15% of the above calculated value for males.

Active infection or fever (> 100.5 F/38 C)
Sepsis
Cardiac surgery within the past two months
Short life expectancy (< 1yr) due to other illnesses, such as cancer or pulmonary, hepatic, or renal disease

Documented anaphylaxis during previous exposure to angiographic contrast media
Uncontrolled congestive heart failure (NYHA Class III or IV)
Unstable angina or acute myocardial infarction within the past three months
Bleeding, clotting disorders, or known thrombosis
Severe Peripheral vascular disease
Uncontrolled diabetes
Rheumatic heart disease
Heart valve replacement
Mitral clip (Evalve)
Women who are of childbearing potential who are currently pregnant or not willing to use contraception for the duration of the study
Active participation in another investigational protocol currently or the last 30 days
