For researchers submitting trial data to ClinicalTrials.gov, the Adverse Events module is one of four mandatory results sections. It requires reporting in three primary categories: All-Cause Mortality: A table tracking all deaths that occurred during the study, regardless of cause. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): A tabular summary of events resulting in death, life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, or significant disability. Other Adverse Events: A table for non-serious events that exceed a specific frequency threshold, such as 5% within any study arm.
Adverse Events Module path is as follows:
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Event Groups
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Serious Events
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Other Events

| Ablation Management | Pre- and post- procedure anticoagulation was managed according to the preference of the investigator. Left atrial access was obtained by a single transseptal puncture. No ablations were to occur until the activated clotting time reached 300 seconds, which was to be maintained for the duration of the ablation. During the index ablation procedure, investigators were required to use all 3 investigational catheters. Cardioversion could be used to restore sinus rhythm if needed. If there was a recurrence of atrial fibrillation, a repeat ablation procedure could be performed any time during the follow-up period. With a retreatment, the follow-up clock was restarted. Subjects were seen pre-discharge and at in-clinic follow-up visits at 1, 3, and 6 months. | None | None | 41 | 138 | 25 | 138 | View |
| Medical Management | Medical Management subjects were prescribed Class I or III antiarrhythmic drugs. Changes in dosing, antiarrhythmic drugs or combinations of antiarrhythmic drugs were allowed. Direct current (DC) cardioversions were also allowed at the discretion of the investigator. Anticoagulation was to be maintained at an International Normalized Ratio greater than 2. Subjects were seen at in-clinic follow-up visits at 1, 3, and 6 months. Subjects who demonstrated chronic treatment failure while under drug therapy could cross over, and receive an ablation as early as 4 months post randomization. | None | None | 3 | 72 | 3 | 72 | View |
