Comparing two extra treatments for persistent atrial fibrillation during ablation

Atrial Fibrillation (AF)

Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.

This study compares two ways to treat persistent atrial fibrillation during a catheter ablation procedure. It tests whether adding isolation of the back wall of the left atrium or using alcohol to ablate a small vein near the heart can improve outcomes compared to standard pulmonary vein isolation alone.

Who can take part

  • You have persistent atrial fibrillation that causes symptoms such as palpitations or shortness of breath.
  • This is your first ablation, or you have had a prior ablation that only isolated the pulmonary veins.
  • You are between 18 and 85 years old.
  • Your heart pumps at least 40% of blood out with each beat.
  • You have not had a heart attack in the last 60 days or heart surgery in the last 6 months.
  • You are willing to provide informed consent and are not pregnant.

Comparing Two Ablation Methods for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

This study compares two types of ablation (a procedure that uses energy to fix irregular heartbeats) for people with persistent atrial fibrillation. It tests whether adding extra treatment to the back of the heart's left upper chamber helps improve outcomes compared to standard treatment alone.

Comparing repeat ablation methods for atrial fibrillation

This trial compares different techniques for a second heart ablation procedure in people with atrial fibrillation (AFib) who have already had one ablation. It aims to find the best approach to stop AFib from coming back.

Extended ablation vs. standard treatment for persistent atrial fibrillation

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.

Comparing two types of ablation for atrial fibrillation

This study compares two ways to perform a heart procedure called ablation to treat atrial fibrillation, a condition that causes an irregular heartbeat. The goal is to find out which approach is safer and more effective at restoring a normal heart rhythm.

Ethanol vein infusion plus pulsed field ablation for paroxysmal AF

This study compares two treatments for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF that comes and goes): using pulsed electric field ablation alone versus combining it with ethanol infusion into a specific vein. The goal is to see which approach works better for first-time ablation patients.

Comparing two ablation approaches for persistent atrial fibrillation

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.
