mITT, modified intent-to-treat; PAE, primary adverse event; PV, pulmonary vein.
aOne patient in the mITT analysis set withdrew before the 3-month follow-up and had no PAE, and was thus excluded from the denominator of n = 137.
bDevice- or procedure-related death, PV stenosis, and atrio-oesophageal fistula that occur at 7–90 days and cardiac tamponade/perforation occurring within 30 days post-ablation were also considered as PAEs. Phrenic nerve paralysis was considered a PAE if specified symptoms had not improved at the 3-month visit.
cThe upper bound of the two-sided exact 95% confidence intervals is 9.3%, less than the prespecified performance goal of 12%.
