Focal pulse ablation for atrial flutter
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new device that uses focused pulses of energy to treat a common type of fast heartbeat called typical atrial flutter. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for people who have had at least one episode in the past 6 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have had at least one recorded episode of typical atrial flutter (a fast, regular heartbeat) in the last 6 months.
- You understand the study and are willing to sign a consent form and attend follow-up visits.
- You have not had a prior ablation for atrial flutter in the specific area called the cavo-tricuspid isthmus.
- You do not have a pacemaker, ICD, or certain heart or lung conditions that could make the procedure unsafe.

This trial tests a newer ablation technique called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder. The goal is to see if this method works well and is safe for patients who need treatment.
This study compares two types of heart procedures for treating a difficult form of atrial flutter that hasn't improved with medication or previous heat-based ablation. It uses either a new energy source (pulsed field) or the standard heat method to see which is safer and works better.
This study tests a newer, gentler way to fix irregular heartbeats in people with paroxysmal AF. The treatment uses special energy (pulsed fields) guided by 3D imaging to target the heart tissue causing the problem, and the goal is to restore a normal rhythm with fewer risks.
This study tests a new way to do a heart procedure (catheter ablation) for people with ongoing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It uses pulsed-field energy to create a block in the heart that stops abnormal electrical signals. The goal is to improve the procedure's success and reduce risks.
This study tests a new way to create a 'block' in the heart tissue to help control atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). The procedure uses a special energy called pulsed field ablation to target a specific area in the heart's left upper chamber and a nearby vein, which may improve the success of the treatment.
This trial compares two different ways of delivering pulsed field ablation—a newer, targeted energy that zaps abnormal heart tissue—for people with atrial fibrillation. It aims to see if a single broader application works as well as a more focused, two-step approach, and it may help you feel better if you have symptoms from this irregular heartbeat.
