Long-lasting CTI block with pulsed field ablation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of energy called pulsed field (gentle electrical pulses) to create a permanent block in the CTI area—a spot in the heart that can cause a fast, fluttering rhythm. It may be an option for people with both atrial fibrillation and typical atrial flutter.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have atrial fibrillation (AF) that comes and goes, plus a type of fast heartbeat called typical atrial flutter.
- Or you have AF that stays around (persistent AF) and your doctor plans to also treat a specific area in the heart called the CTI as part of the procedure.
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have not had a previous ablation of the CTI area.
- You have not had heart valve surgery and do not have a major valve problem.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and do not have serious illnesses like active heart muscle inflammation or untreated thyroid problems.
- You are not on long-term dialysis and agree to take part in the study.

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 tests a new type of energy (pulsed field) to treat a specific kind of heart rhythm problem called atrial flutter. It is for people who are already planning to have heart ablation for atrial fibrillation or flutter.
This trial uses a special imaging tool inside the heart to guide a new type of energy (pulsed field) to treat a specific area in the heart that can cause atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It may help people with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation who need a procedure called CTI ablation.
This trial tests a new catheter system to treat atrial fibrillation (AF) by creating small scars in the heart to block faulty signals. It may help people with symptoms that continue despite medication and who are scheduled for a standard ablation procedure.
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 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.
