Using very high power for short duration to treat atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to perform a common procedure (pulmonary vein isolation) for people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Instead of using the standard amount of energy for a longer time, this method uses a very high amount of energy for a very short time. This might make the procedure faster and just as safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF that comes and goes on its own).
- You are 19 years of age or older.
- You have not had a prior ablation or surgery for AF.
- You do not have a blood clot in your heart or have had a stroke or blood clot in the last 90 days.
- You have not had heart surgery or a heart attack in the last 90 days.
- You do not have any condition that prevents you from taking blood thinners.

This study tests a new system (QDOT MICRO and VISITAG SURPOINT) used during a catheter ablation procedure to treat atrial fibrillation (AF). It aims to see how safe and effective it is over the long term for people whose AF comes and goes and hasn't been controlled by medication.
This study tests a newer pulsed energy technique to treat a type of irregular heartbeat that comes and goes. It targets specific heart areas to help restore a normal rhythm, potentially reducing symptoms and improving quality of life.
This study compares two ways of using a new type of energy called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if using a special heart map to guide the treatment works better than the standard approach. If you have intermittent irregular heartbeats from AF, this trial might help improve your care.
This trial studies a new procedure called pulsed field ablation to treat brief episodes of atrial fibrillation (AFib). The goal is to see if it can help reset the heart's natural electrical system and reduce symptoms.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses two types of energy (pulsed field and radiofrequency) to fix the heart's electrical signals in people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib that comes and goes). It aims to be more effective and safer than standard ablation alone.
This study tests if a new type of energy called pulse field ablation (a procedure that uses short bursts of electric pulses) works as well as standard ablation for restoring normal heart rhythm in patients with episodes of irregular heartbeat. It may help your heart pump more normally.
