3D-guided pulsed field ablation for intermittent atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You must have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) — a heart rhythm problem that comes and goes.
- You must be scheduled for a catheter ablation procedure.
- You must be willing to attend all follow-up visits and agree to the study.
- You cannot have had a prior catheter ablation for AF.
- You cannot have severe heart failure, a pacemaker or ICD, a mechanical heart valve, or certain other heart or health conditions.

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 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 a special catheter that uses pulsed field energy to ablate (destroy) the tiny areas in the heart causing irregular heartbeats. It is designed for people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (episodes that come and go) that hasn't been controlled by medication.
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 trial tests a newer treatment called pulsed field ablation (PFA) for people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), where the heart's rhythm is irregular and comes and goes on its own within 7 days. The goal is to see if PFA can restore a normal heart rhythm while better protecting the heart's left atrial function, which helps pump blood effectively. If you have AF and medications haven't worked, this could be an option to discuss with your doctor.
This trial tests a new way to treat non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) using a focused type of ablation (pulsed-field energy) on specific areas of the heart. It aims to see if targeting the left atrial wall and mitral isthmus can improve outcomes for people who have not had this procedure before.
