Wider pulmonary vein isolation in AFib ablation with single-shot cryoablation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new approach to a common procedure for atrial fibrillation (AFib) called pulmonary vein isolation. It uses a single-shot cryoablation technique to treat people with paroxysmal or persistent AFib.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation that was diagnosed less than 2 years ago.
- Your doctor has decided a procedure called pulmonary vein isolation with balloon cryoablation is right for you.
- You have not had any prior catheter or surgical ablation for atrial fibrillation.
- You do not have severe heart valve disease, congenital heart disease, or a blood clot in your heart.
- You are not severely frail, have a life expectancy longer than 1 year, and are not pregnant or planning pregnancy.

This study tests a new way to find and treat the specific areas in the heart that cause atrial fibrillation to come back. It aims to improve the success of a repeat ablation procedure for people whose previous pulmonary vein isolation did not stop the irregular heartbeats.
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 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 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 study tests if a new type of energy called pulse field ablation (a procedure that uses short bursts of electric pulses) works as well as standard ablation for restoring normal heart rhythm in patients with episodes of irregular heartbeat. It may help your heart pump more normally.
This study tests a procedure called cryoballoon ablation that freezes the tissue causing irregular heartbeats. It is for people with intermittent atrial fibrillation who have not had this procedure before.
