Pulsed-field ablation for non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to treat non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) using a focused type of ablation (pulsed-field energy) on specific areas of the heart. It aims to see if targeting the left atrial wall and mitral isthmus can improve outcomes for people who have not had this procedure before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (persistent or long-standing AF).
- Your doctor has recommended a catheter ablation (a treatment to fix the heart's electrical signals).
- You must be willing to sign a consent form to participate.
- You cannot have had a previous ablation in the left upper chamber of your heart.
- You cannot have kidney disease stage 3 or worse, or a blood disorder that causes red blood cells to break down.

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 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 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 trial tests a newer, gentler ablation technique (pulsed field ablation) to treat atrial fibrillation by creating a targeted scar in a specific heart area. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for people whose heart rhythm is irregular.
This study tests a new 3D-guided technique using pulsed field energy to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that comes and goes. It may help patients who have not had a prior ablation and have a heart strong enough for the procedure.
This trial studies a new procedure called pulsed field ablation to treat brief episodes of atrial fibrillation (AFib). The goal is to see if it can help reset the heart's natural electrical system and reduce symptoms.
