Comparing two procedures for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two procedures — one that targets the heart's nerve connections (cardioneuroablation) and one that isolates the pulmonary veins — to see which is better at preventing paroxysmal atrial fibrillation from coming back. If you qualify, you may receive a treatment that could reduce your symptoms and improve your heart rhythm control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have atrial fibrillation that comes and goes on its own within 7 days (paroxysmal).
- You are 18 years or older.
- Your heart's natural recovery speed after stress is above a certain threshold (deceleration capacity > 7.5ms).
- You have not had a previous ablation for atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
- You do not have severe heart failure, a BMI over 31, or permanent or long-lasting AF.
- You do not have other heart conditions, serious health problems, or contraindications to study procedures.

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.
This trial tests a new type of heart procedure that uses gentle electrical pulses to fix abnormal signals in the upper chambers of the heart for people with a specific type of atrial fibrillation that comes and goes on its own. It may be an option if your AFib episodes stop within 7 days and medications haven't helped enough.
This study compares two types of ablation (a procedure that uses energy to fix irregular heartbeats) for people with persistent atrial fibrillation. It tests whether adding extra treatment to the back of the heart's left upper chamber helps improve outcomes compared to standard treatment alone.
This study compares two ways to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that lasts for a long time). One method uses a catheter to treat the heart from the inside, and the other combines that with a small procedure on the outside of the heart. The goal is to see which approach works better for people whose symptoms haven't improved with medication.
This study compares two procedures to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that lasts more than a week). It looks at whether a newer method (pulsed-field ablation) works better than the standard method (radiofrequency ablation), both combined with a chemical injection to improve treatment success.
