Repeat ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation with pulsed field
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a newer type of ablation (pulsed field ablation) for people with persistent atrial fibrillation who have already had one ablation. The goal is to see if it can fix the heart rhythm problem again.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have had one previous ablation for atrial fibrillation that included isolating your pulmonary veins.
- Your atrial fibrillation came back with symptoms at least 60 days after that ablation.
- You are willing to come back for all follow-up visits and tests.

This trial tests a new way to deliver energy (FARAPULSE PFA system) to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of irregular heartbeat. It aims to see if these new waveforms can safely and effectively stop AF symptoms and improve quality of life.
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 new type of ablation called PFA for people with persistent atrial fibrillation. It aims to see if targeting heart tissue changes can improve outcomes.
This trial tests a newer ablation procedure (PulseSelect) to treat atrial fibrillation—a common heart rhythm problem. The goal is to see if this optimized workflow helps patients have fewer symptoms and better outcomes.
This trial tests a new tool called FARAFLEX that uses pulsed electrical energy to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). The goal is to see if this method can safely stop AF symptoms in people whose medications haven't worked.
This trial compares a newer type of ablation (pulsed field) with the standard radiofrequency ablation for people with persistent atrial fibrillation that hasn't been treated with ablation before. The goal is to see which method works better and has fewer risks.
