Second ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a repeat catheter ablation procedure can help people with persistent atrial fibrillation who still have symptoms after their first procedure. If you've already had a pulmonary vein isolation, this study may offer a chance at better rhythm control.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a prior pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation.
- You have had at least two episodes of symptomatic persistent atrial fibrillation in the last 12 months.
- You are over 18 years old.
- Your expected survival is more than one year.
- You can understand and sign a consent form.

This trial compares two types of repeat ablation for people whose persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) has come back after a prior procedure. It tests whether adding isolation of the back wall of the heart's left atrium to the standard vein isolation improves outcomes. If you have had up to two prior AF ablations and are willing to be followed, you may qualify.
This trial compares two ways to treat persistent atrial fibrillation: a minimally invasive surgery approach versus a catheter ablation. It may help people find the most effective option to reduce ongoing abnormal heart rhythm and avoid repeat procedures.
This trial is testing a new way to treat atrial fibrillation by using a catheter to target the specific areas in the heart that trigger the irregular heartbeat. If you have persistent atrial fibrillation and haven't had prior catheter ablation, you may be eligible to join.
This trial is testing a specific approach to catheter ablation for people with persistent atrial fibrillation. It aims to improve how abnormal heart tissue is targeted to help restore a normal rhythm.
This study tests a new approach to catheter ablation for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). It may be an option if you have not responded well to or could not tolerate a rhythm-control medication.
This trial tests a catheter ablation procedure for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat that lasts more than 7 days but less than a year). It aims to see if the procedure is safe and effective for restoring a normal heart rhythm.
