Pulsed electric field ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new procedure that uses pulsed electric fields to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective in restoring a normal heart rhythm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have persistent atrial fibrillation that has not improved with medication and has lasted for 3 years or less.
- You are willing to follow all study procedures and attend follow-up visits.
- You do not have severe heart failure, a very enlarged heart, or other serious heart conditions.

This study tests a new heart procedure using pulsed field ablation (a type of energy to fix irregular heartbeats) for people who have had atrial fibrillation for less than a year. It may help restore a normal heart rhythm and reduce symptoms.
This trial tests a new type of ablation (pulsed-field) to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib) that lasts more than 7 days. You may qualify if you have symptoms and haven't had other heart ablation procedures except for one specific type.
This trial tests a more precise way to burn (ablate) the back wall of the left upper heart chamber during the first ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). It aims to improve heart rhythm control and reduce the chance of AF coming back.
This study tests a new way to fix atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) by burning a small area in the upper heart to prevent the irregular signals from starting. It compares two methods to see if adding a small extra step helps the heart stay in a normal rhythm longer.
This trial tests a new type of heart procedure called pulsed field ablation for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (a long-lasting irregular heartbeat). It compares three different ways to use this ablation to try to restore a normal heart rhythm and reduce symptoms.
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.
