Balloon treatment for atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new balloon device that uses gentle energy pulses to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of irregular heartbeat. It may help people whose AF has not improved with medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had repeated episodes of AF that cause symptoms.
- At least one AF episode has been documented by a doctor.
- You have tried or cannot take at least one heart rhythm medicine.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- Your doctor has decided you need a procedure to treat your AF.

This trial tests a new type of heart procedure that uses gentle electrical pulses to fix abnormal signals in the upper chambers of the heart for people with a specific type of atrial fibrillation that comes and goes on its own. It may be an option if your AFib episodes stop within 7 days and medications haven't helped enough.
This trial studies a new type of energy, called pulsed field ablation, to treat a heart rhythm problem called paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). The goal is to safely isolate the areas of the heart causing the irregular beats, which may help reduce symptoms.
This trial tests a balloon catheter that uses pulsed field energy to treat atrial fibrillation (AF) in people who have tried medication without success. It aims to see how well it works in real-world use.
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 new balloon catheter that uses pulsed electric fields to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that lasts more than 7 days. The treatment aims to restore normal heart rhythm and may be an option for people who have not had prior heart procedures.
This trial tests a new catheter-based treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) — a type of irregular heartbeat that comes and goes. It uses a special balloon catheter to deliver energy to the heart to help restore a normal rhythm. This may be an option if medications haven't controlled your symptoms.
