Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Primary Safety Events at 12 Months Post-procedure (Acute and Chronic Events) Using the Boston Scientific Cardiac Cryoablation System With POLARx Cryoablation Balloon Catheter Models	This measure reports the observed safety event-free rate at 12 Months follow up for all treatment and intent subjects. The safety events are a composite of procedure-related and device-related adverse events. Acute Primary Safety Endpoints include: Death; Myocardial infarction (MI); Persistent gastroparesis/injury to vagus nerve; Transient ischemic attack (TIA); Stroke/Cerebrovascular accident (CVA); Thromboembolism/ Air embolism; Cardiac tamponade/perforation; Pneumothorax; Serious vascular access complications; Pulmonary edema/heart failure; AV block not attributable to medication effect or vasovagal reaction; Chronic Primary Safety events (through 12 Months) include: Atrial esophageal fistula; Pulmonary vein stenosis (= 70% reduction of diameter) OR presented by patient's symptoms at 12-Month follow-up and requiring intervention	12 Months
Primary	Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Treatment Failure at 12 Months Post-procedure Using the Boston Scientific Cardiac Cryoablation System With POLARx Cryoablation Balloon Catheter Models	This measure reports the observed failure-free rate at 12 Months post index procedure. Failure defined as: Failure to achieve acute procedural success in the index procedure; Any documented recurrent AF episode(s), or new onset of AFL or AT events: = 30 seconds in duration from any clinical recording devices considered standard of care at the study center (excluding insertable loop recorders)or; =10-second of continuous AF, AFL or AT documented on any 12-lead ECG between Days 91 and 12-Month follow-up; Any of the following interventions for atrial fibrillation, or new onset of atrial flutter or atrial tachycardia between days 91 and 12 Month Follow Up: Repeat procedure; Electrical and/or pharmacological cardioversion for AF/AFL/AT; Prescribed a higher dose of any AAD documented at baseline or a new AAD not documented at baseline.; Hospitalization for AF/AT/AFL	12 Months
