Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
* Diagnosed with Symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) defined as as atrial fibrillation (AF) that terminates spontaneously or with intervention within 7 days of onset. This PAF is considered to be symptomatic if symptoms related to AF are experienced by the participant
* Selected for AF ablation procedure by pulmonary vein isolation (PVI)
* Willing and capable of providing consent
* Able and willing to comply with all pre-, post- and follow-up testing and requirements
Exclusion Criteria:
* Previously known AF secondary to electrolyte imbalance, thyroid disease, or reversible or non-cardiac cause (example, documented obstructive sleep apnea, acute alcohol toxicity, morbid obesity \[body mass index greater than {\>} 40 kilograms per meter square {kg/m\^2}\]), renal insufficiency (with an estimated creatinine clearance less than (\<) 30 milliliters per minute per 1.73 meter square \[mL/min/1.73 m\^2\])
* Previous left atrium (LA) ablation or surgery
* Participants known to require ablation outside the PV region (example, atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia, atrioventricular nodal re-entry tachycardia, atrial tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia and Wolff-Parkinson-White)
* Previously diagnosed with persistent AF (\> 7 days in duration)
* Severe dilatation of the left atrium (LA) (left anterior descending artery \[LAD\] \>50 millimeter \[mm\] antero-posterior diameter in case of transthoracic echocardiography \[TTE\])
* Presence of LA thrombus
* Severely compromised left ventricular ejection fraction (left ventricular ejection fraction \[LVEF\] \<40 percentage \[%\])
* Uncontrolled heart failure or New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV
* History of blood clotting, bleeding abnormalities or contraindication to anticoagulation (heparin, warfarin, or dabigatran)
* History of a documented thromboembolic event (including transient ischemic attack \[TIA\]) within the past 6 months
* Previous percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) / myocardial infarction (MI) within the past 2 months
* Previous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in conjunction with valvular surgery, cardiac surgery (example, ventriculotomy, atriotomy) or valvular cardiac (surgical or percutaneous) procedure
* Unstable angina pectoris within the past 6 months
* Anticipated cardiac transplantation, cardiac surgery, or other major surgery within the next 12 months
* Significant pulmonary disease (example, restrictive pulmonary disease, constrictive or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) or any other disease or malfunction of the lungs or respiratory system that produces severe chronic symptoms
* Known significant pulmonary vein (PV) anomaly that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude enrollment in this study
* Prior diagnosis of pulmonary vein stenosis
* Pre-existing hemi diaphragmatic paralysis
* Acute illness, active systemic infection, or sepsis
* Presence of intracardiac thrombus, myxoma, tumor, interatrial baffle or patch or other abnormality that precludes catheter introduction or manipulation
* Severe mitral regurgitation
* Presence of implanted pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) or other implanted metal cardiac device that may interfere with the pulsed electric field energy
* Presence of a condition that precludes vascular access (such as Inferior Vena Cava \[IVC\] filter)
* Significant congenital anomaly or a medical problem that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude enrollment in this study
* Categorized as vulnerable population and requires special treatment with respect to safeguards of well-being
* Current enrollment in an investigational study evaluating another device or drug
* Women who are pregnant (as evidenced by pregnancy test if pre-menopausal), lactating, or who are of child-bearing age and plan on becoming pregnant during the course of the clinical investigation
* Life expectancy less than 12 months
* Presenting contra-indications for the devices used in the study, as indicated in the respective Instructions For Use (IFU)
* Known contraindication for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) such as use of contrast agents due to advanced renal disease, claustrophobia etcetra. (at principle investigator \[PI\] discretion)
* Presence of iron-containing metal fragments in the body
* Known unresolved pre-existing neurological deficit
* Known uncontrolled significant gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
