Summary of PAEs, mITT analysis set (n = 137)a

n (%)
PAEs (≤7 days post-ablation)b 6 (4.4)c
 Atrio-oesophageal fistula 0
 Phrenic nerve paralysis (permanent) 0
 PV stenosis 2 (1.5)
 Cardiac tamponade/perforation 2 (1.5)
 Stroke/cerebrovascular accident 1 (0.7)
 Transient ischaemic attack 0
 Major vascular access complication/bleeding 0
 Thromboembolism 0
 Myocardial infarction 0
 Pericarditis 1 (0.7)
 Heart block 0
 Pulmonary oedema (respiratory insufficiency) 0
 Vagal nerve injury/gastroparesis 0
 Death (device or procedure related) 0

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%.
