Heart rhythm fix for long-lasting atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to fix irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation) that have lasted over a year. It uses a special energy to create a maze-like pattern in the heart to reduce symptoms and improve your heart's rhythm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have atrial fibrillation that has been constant for at least 1 year.
- You have symptoms like palpitations, shortness of breath, or fatigue.
- You have not had a prior ablation procedure or surgery for atrial fibrillation.
- Your heart's left atrium (upper chamber) is not severely enlarged (less than 55 mm) and no blood clots are present.
- Your kidneys, liver, and blood clotting are functioning adequately.

This trial tests a new method to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (a long-lasting irregular heartbeat) to see if it helps patients who haven't been helped by medication. It focuses on cleaning up the back wall of the heart to restore a normal rhythm.
This study tests a new heart procedure using pulsed field ablation (a type of energy to fix irregular heartbeats) for people who have had atrial fibrillation for less than a year. It may help restore a normal heart rhythm and reduce symptoms.
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.
This trial tests a new type of ablation (pulsed-field) to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib) that lasts more than 7 days. You may qualify if you have symptoms and haven't had other heart ablation procedures except for one specific type.
This study tests a new way to fix atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) by burning a small area in the upper heart to prevent the irregular signals from starting. It compares two methods to see if adding a small extra step helps the heart stay in a normal rhythm longer.
This trial tests a more precise way to burn (ablate) the back wall of the left upper heart chamber during the first ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). It aims to improve heart rhythm control and reduce the chance of AF coming back.
