Comparing heart tissue burns for atrial fibrillation treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to create small burns in the heart tissue to fix an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation). It uses a special MRI to see how well each method works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for your first catheter ablation to treat atrial fibrillation.
- You must not have long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation.
- You must not have had any prior ablation in the left atrium.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Your heart's main pumping chamber (left ventricle) must be working normally.
- Your kidney function (GFR) must be above 30%, and your body mass index (BMI) must be under 35.

This trial tests a new method called pulsed field ablation (PFA) to treat irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation) by isolating the veins that carry blood to your heart. It aims to see how well this procedure works and if it's safe for you.
This trial compares different standard pulse field ablation techniques to isolate the pulmonary veins and treat atrial fibrillation. It aims to find which method works best for patients who are already scheduled for this procedure.
This trial is studying a way to improve the entire process of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. It may help people who are having this procedure for the first time and have a normal-sized left atrium and good heart function.
This trial studies different surgical techniques for treating atrial fibrillation during heart surgery. It may help people with a history of AFib who are already scheduled for open-heart surgery.
This study compares two ways to perform a heart procedure called ablation to treat atrial fibrillation, a condition that causes an irregular heartbeat. The goal is to find out which approach is safer and more effective at restoring a normal heart rhythm.
This trial tests two different ablation techniques to treat a type of irregular heartbeat that doesn't go away on its own. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer.
