Pulsed Field Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with paroxysmal AFib—AFib that stops on its own or with treatment within 7 days.
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have not had a previous heart ablation or cardiac surgery.
- You do not have a pacemaker, ICD, or other metal device in your heart.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant.

This study tests a new catheter that uses pulsed field energy to isolate the veins in your heart that trigger atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see how long the effects last, and you would need to have a repeat procedure about 2–3 months after the first one.
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 tests a new way to treat atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm problem) using a special catheter that delivers quick electrical pulses to fix the heart's rhythm. The goal is to see if this method is safe and effective, which might offer an alternative to traditional treatments.
This trial tests a new way to treat non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) using a focused type of ablation (pulsed-field energy) on specific areas of the heart. It aims to see if targeting the left atrial wall and mitral isthmus can improve outcomes for people who have not had this procedure before.
This study tests a new 3D-guided technique using pulsed field energy to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that comes and goes. It may help patients who have not had a prior ablation and have a heart strong enough for the procedure.
This trial tests a new procedure called pulsed field ablation to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (long-lasting irregular heartbeat). It compares different ways of using the procedure and may be an option if heart rhythm medicines haven't worked for you.
