Pulsed-field ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib) that has lasted longer than 7 days but less than 3 years
- You are not able to take, or do not want to take, antiarrhythmic drugs (medicines to control heart rhythm)
- You do not have a pacemaker or defibrillator, and have not had prior heart ablation (except for one specific type)
- Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is better than 15%
- You have no serious valve disease, congenital heart disease, or recent heart attack or surgery (within 6 months)
- You can read and understand study information and have signed a consent form

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 procedure that uses pulsed electric fields to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective in restoring a normal heart rhythm.
This study tests a new way to treat atrial fibrillation using targeted electrical pulses (pulsed field ablation) instead of heat or cold. The goal is to improve safety and outcomes for people with paroxysmal or persistent AF.
This trial tests a new type of heart procedure called pulsed field ablation for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (a long-lasting irregular heartbeat). It compares three different ways to use this ablation to try to restore a normal heart rhythm and reduce symptoms.
This study tests two types of pulsed field ablation catheters to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm problem lasting more than 7 days but less than a year. The goal is to see if these catheters can safely and effectively restore a normal heart rhythm.
