REPRESENT-PF Registry
(REPRESENT-PF)
What this study is about
This pragmatic, forward-looking, single-treatment group$1, multi-center, observational registry will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of PFA for the treatment of atrial fibrillation in underrepresented minority patients using FDA approved Boston Scientific PFA catheters; all data collected will be the usual treatment.

This pragmatic, prospective, single-arm, multi-center, observational registry will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of PFA for the treatment of atrial fibrillation in underrepresented minority patients using FDA approved Boston Scientific PFA catheters; all data collected will be standard of care.
Interventions
DEVICE
FARAWAVE Pulsed Field Ablation Catheter
The FARAWAVE Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) Catheter is a component of the FARAPULSE PFA System. The FARAWAVE Catheter is an over-the-wire, multi-electrode catheter designed to deliver PFA energy to the distal section for cardiac ablation. The FARAWAVE Catheter is indicated for: 1) the isolation of pulmonary veins in the treatment of drug-refractory, recurrent, symptomatic Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation (PAF) 2) the isolation of pulmonary veins and the posterior wall in the treatment of drug-refractory, symptomatic Persistent Atrial Fibrillation (episode duration less than one year) This device is FDA approved.
Primary outcome measures
Composite Serious Adverse Events
Time frame: up to Day 60 Post Procedure
Assess device- or procedure-related Composite Serious Adverse Events (CSAEs) assessed through Day 60 following the Ablation Procedure The proportion of all Treatment Subjects and Attempt Subjects (combined PAF and PersAF cohort) with one or more device- or procedure-related Composite Serious Adverse Events (CSAEs) assessed through Day 60 following the Ablation Procedure on or prior to the Day 60 Assessment, with an Onset Date following the procedure.
Chronic Treatment Success
Time frame: 12 Months
Chronic treatment success is defined as freedom from any of the following through the Day 365: * Arrhythmia: Occurrence of any detectable AF, AFL or AT * Re-ablation: Any re-ablation for AF, AFL or AT at any time following the index procedure after the blanking period. * Cardioversion: Any electrical cardioversion for AF, AFL or AT
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- All consecutive patients classified as racial or ethnic minorities undergoing ablation using Boston Scientific FDA approved PFA catheters for AF will be included.
- De novo ablation for symptomatic paroxysmal and persistent AF (Age ≥ 18) (unless it is a repeat for a patient whose index procedure is also in the registry) who are deemed to be candidates for AF ablation by the investigator.
- Able and willing to participate in baseline and follow up evaluation over the study period
- Willing and able to provide informed consent, if applicable.
Exclusion criteria
- Enrolled in an investigational drug or device clinical trial or any other trial with outlined treatment plan
- Long standing persistent AF (AF \> 1 year duration)
- Repeat ablation, unless index ablation procedure was in the REPRESENT-PF registry
- Any known contra-indication to ablation procedure at the discretion of the investigator
Where
- New York, New York
- Winchester, Virginia

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
