Pulsed-field ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult with atrial fibrillation that is not temporary (persistent or long-standing persistent) and causes symptoms.
- You have not had a previous catheter ablation on the left upper chamber of your heart.
- Your heart pump function (left ventricular ejection fraction) is above 30%.
- You do not have severe lung disease or untreated sleep apnea that would make sedation risky.

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 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.
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 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 tests a new type of ablation (pulsed field ablation) against standard radiofrequency ablation for people with persistent atrial fibrillation that hasn't been controlled well by medication. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer.
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.
