Pressure inside belly during pulse field ablation for A-fib
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how pulse field ablation (a heart procedure for irregular heartbeats) affects pressure inside the belly. If you have atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter and are planning to have this procedure, your participation may help doctors understand how to make it safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter and are scheduled for pulse field ablation (a procedure that uses electrical pulses to treat irregular heartbeats).
- You can safely have a Foley catheter (a soft tube placed in your bladder) to measure pressure inside your belly.
- You have not had any surgery inside your belly area in the last 6 months.
- You do not have a history of prostate problems (like an enlarged prostate), frequent urinary tract infections, or other issues that would prevent catheter use.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have COPD that requires oxygen at home.

This study tests if a new type of energy called pulse field ablation (a procedure that uses short bursts of electric pulses) works as well as standard ablation for restoring normal heart rhythm in patients with episodes of irregular heartbeat. It may help your heart pump more normally.
This study tests a new way to do a heart procedure (catheter ablation) for people with ongoing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It uses pulsed-field energy to create a block in the heart that stops abnormal electrical signals. The goal is to improve the procedure's success and reduce risks.
This trial is testing a new way to treat atrial fibrillation, called pulsed field ablation. The study aims to check how well the catheter makes contact with heart tissue during the procedure, which might help doctors do the treatment more effectively. It may help people whose atrial fibrillation comes and goes and hasn't been treated with this method 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 newer, gentler way to fix irregular heartbeats in people with paroxysmal AF. The treatment uses special energy (pulsed fields) guided by 3D imaging to target the heart tissue causing the problem, and the goal is to restore a normal rhythm with fewer risks.
This study tests a new catheter system, called Varipulse, to see if it's safe and effective for treating atrial fibrillation (AF), a heart rhythm problem. People with short-lasting AF who haven't been helped by medication may be able to join.
