Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation without x-ray
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a way to perform catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation using a non-fluoroscopic lab, meaning no x-ray is needed during the procedure. It may help patients avoid radiation exposure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have been diagnosed with paroxysmal (comes and goes) or persistent atrial fibrillation that has lasted 1 year or less
- You are scheduled for your first ever catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation
- You do not have any condition that makes blood thinners or heart catheterization unsafe
- Your procedure does not require x-ray for any additional steps

This study tests a new balloon catheter that uses pulsed electric fields to isolate the veins that carry blood from your lungs to your heart. It may be a treatment option for people with atrial fibrillation who are scheduled for an ablation procedure.
This study tests a new way to do a heart procedure (catheter ablation) for people with ongoing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It uses pulsed-field energy to create a block in the heart that stops abnormal electrical signals. The goal is to improve the procedure's success and reduce risks.
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 investigates whether a catheter ablation procedure can improve wellbeing and reduce the risk of serious events for people 80 and older with symptomatic atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if this treatment offers better outcomes than standard care in this age group.
This study compares two procedures to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that lasts more than a week). It looks at whether a newer method (pulsed-field ablation) works better than the standard method (radiofrequency ablation), both combined with a chemical injection to improve treatment success.
This trial tests a new balloon catheter that uses pulsed electric fields to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that lasts more than 7 days. The treatment aims to restore normal heart rhythm and may be an option for people who have not had prior heart procedures.
