The purpose of this study is to compare procedural times and Radiofrequency (RF)applications required for Pulmonary vein myocardial sleeves targeted pulmonary vein ablation (PVS-PVI) , to compare the efficacy of PVS-PVI , to compare the safety of PVS-PVI and to assess other clinical outcomes of PVS-PVI in individuals with symptomatic paroxysmal Atrial fibrillation (AF) using Omnipolar Technology with conventional Wide area circumferential ablation (WACA).

| PVS-PVI targeted ablation | Device | Omnipolar technology will be used to analyze all PVs and delineate the PVMS. Once identified, PVMS will be marked and described in a clockface fashion using a lateral view of the vein.Ablation will target the PVMS using the same power and force parameters as described for the WACA procedure. Effective ablation lesions and distance between ablation spots will be represented in the same manner too. Lesions should cover at least 5 mm outside the PVMS delineation on both PVMS borders of each myocardial sleeve. PVI will be demonstrated with the same technique described in the WACA procedure. The PVI will be verified for each vein 10 minutes after the initial achievement of PVI. |

| Wide area circumferential ablation (WACA) | Device | After generating the 3D electroanatomical map of the heart to understand where treatment needs to be applied,using a tool called radiofrequency (RF) ablation, small burns will be made around the veins to block abnormal electrical signals. Each burn is applied with up to 50 watts of power and lasts up to 10 seconds.The ablation tool will press down with a force of around 10-20 grams.The mapping system (NAVX software) shows the burns on the 3D map |
