The evidence of treating AF by pacing is limited, although these algorithms are of interest, since they appear to be safe and usually add little additional cost.~Using a computer model, a new dual-stage septal pacing has been developed.The proposed septal pacing algorithm could suppress AF reentries in a more robust way than classical single site rapid pacing. The feasibility of pacing both atria simultaneously from a single lead placed in the interatrial septum has been previously demonstrated clinically. The septal pacing concept has also been successfully tested in a computer model of AF and in a pig model . Experimental studies are now needed to determine whether similar termination mechanisms and efficacies can be observed in humans.~The purpose of this non-randomized, non-controlled, acute, single-arm research study is to evaluate the feasibility to obtain a stable position of a ring of stimulation electrodes on the interatrial septum
