Ablation study for people with persistent atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a catheter ablation procedure for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat that lasts more than 7 days but less than a year). It aims to see if the procedure is safe and effective for restoring a normal heart rhythm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with persistent atrial fibrillation lasting between 7 days and 12 months.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are able to attend all study visits for the full length of the trial.
- You have not had any prior heart procedures like ablation, valve surgery, or stent placement.
- You do not have other conditions that could cause your atrial fibrillation, such as thyroid problems or alcohol intoxication.

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 study tests a heart rhythm procedure that uses electrical mapping to guide ablation (controlled scarring) of a specific area in the heart's left upper chamber to treat persistent atrial fibrillation—a condition where the heart beats irregularly for more than a week at a time. The goal is to see if this targeted approach helps restore normal heart rhythm.
This trial tests a new way to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat that lasts more than 7 days) using a specialized mapping system. It aims to help people who have not gotten relief from medications or cannot tolerate them.
This trial tests two different ablation techniques to treat a type of irregular heartbeat that doesn't go away on its own. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer.
This trial tests a new balloon-based catheter procedure to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat lasting at least a week). The procedure uses a special energy technique to stop abnormal electrical signals in your heart.
This trial is testing a specific approach to catheter ablation for people with persistent atrial fibrillation. It aims to improve how abnormal heart tissue is targeted to help restore a normal rhythm.
