New ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a new type of ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). It uses special energy to create scar tissue in the heart to block faulty electrical signals. If you have AF that isn’t controlled by medication, you may qualify.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have atrial fibrillation that comes and goes (paroxysmal) or stays for weeks to months (persistent) – but not longer than a year.
- At least one heart rhythm medication hasn’t worked for you, caused side effects, or you can’t take it.
- You have not had a previous catheter ablation or surgery on the left side of your heart.
- You are willing to take blood thinners for at least 3 weeks before the procedure and to come in for follow-up visits.
- You do not have other serious heart or health conditions (like severe valve disease, recent heart attack, or kidney failure).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests a new catheter and mapping system designed to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), which is a type of irregular heartbeat that comes and goes. If you have this condition, the study aims to see how well the new system works with a minimally invasive procedure.
This study tests a new device (FARAFLEX) that uses pulsed field energy to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib). You may qualify if you have persistent or paroxysmal AFib symptoms and have not had a prior ablation.
This trial tests a new procedure called pulsed field ablation to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (long-lasting irregular heartbeat). It compares different ways of using the procedure and may be an option if heart rhythm medicines haven't worked for you.
This study tests a new type of energy (pulsed-field ablation) to create a lasting block in a specific area of the heart, aiming to improve the success of a procedure for people with persistent atrial fibrillation.
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.
