Pulsed field ablation for atrial flutter
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a new way to treat abnormal heart rhythms called atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation. It uses a special energy called pulsed field to fix the heart's electrical signals, which may help patients with fewer risks than standard treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter and are scheduled for a catheter ablation procedure (a treatment that uses energy to fix abnormal heart rhythms).
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You do not have severe coronary artery disease (significant blockages in your heart's blood vessels).
- You have never had an ablation for atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter before.
- You are not pregnant and are expected to live at least one more year.

This study tests a new device that uses focused pulses of energy to treat a common type of fast heartbeat called typical atrial flutter. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for people who have had at least one episode in the past 6 months.
This trial uses a special imaging tool inside the heart to guide a new type of energy (pulsed field) to treat a specific area in the heart that can cause atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It may help people with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation who need a procedure called CTI ablation.
This study compares two types of heart procedures for treating a difficult form of atrial flutter that hasn't improved with medication or previous heat-based ablation. It uses either a new energy source (pulsed field) or the standard heat method to see which is safer and works better.
This study tests a new type of energy called pulsed-field ablation (PFA) to treat a specific kind of irregular heartbeat called atypical atrial flutter that keeps coming back after a prior ablation. It aims to see if this approach can safely stop the abnormal rhythm.
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 study compares two ways of using a new type of energy called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if using a special heart map to guide the treatment works better than the standard approach. If you have intermittent irregular heartbeats from AF, this trial might help improve your care.
