Long-term comparison of two ablation methods for persistent AF
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This long-term study follows people who already completed a 12-month study comparing two types of heart ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation. It looks at how well the treatments worked over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been part of the original Tailored AF study.
- You stayed in that study for the full 12 months after your procedure.
- You are willing to give written permission to join this long-term follow-up.

This study compares different ways of doing a procedure called catheter ablation to treat a type of atrial fibrillation that lasts longer than 7 days. They want to see if adding an extra step to the standard treatment helps more than just doing the standard treatment alone. If you join, you will be randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups.
This trial compares two ways of performing a heart procedure called ablation to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for patients.
This trial tests whether adding extra ablation lines to the standard pulmonary vein isolation procedure is more effective for people with persistent atrial fibrillation that hasn't been helped by medications. The goal is to improve symptoms like palpitations, fatigue, and shortness of breath.
This trial compares two catheter ablation techniques for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat that doesn't go away on its own). It will test whether a more extensive ablation (burning more heart tissue) works better than the standard procedure of isolating the pulmonary veins (the veins that bring blood from the lungs to the heart). If you have this condition and have had at least one episode in the past year, this study might help you find a more effective treatment.
This trial tests a newer, possibly safer way to treat persistent atrial fibrillation using pulsed field ablation. It compares standard vein isolation alone to adding extra ablation spots to improve success.
This study tests whether adding extra scar lines (linear ablation) to the standard pulmonary vein isolation (CPVI) is better than CPVI alone for people with long-standing persistent AF that has lasted 1 to 3 years. The goal is to see which approach reduces AF better.
