New mapping system for treating paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new 3D heart mapping system that helps doctors guide a catheter to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that comes and goes). It uses pressure and star mapping to make the procedure more precise and safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and need a catheter ablation procedure.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and follow the study's procedures and follow-up visits.
- You are not pregnant, and if you could become pregnant, you agree to use effective birth control for 12 months.
- You have not had a previous ablation for atrial fibrillation.
- Your heart is not severely enlarged (left atrium less than 50 mm) and your heart's pumping function is adequate (LVEF greater than 40%).

This trial tests a new cryoablation system that uses freezing to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that comes and goes. It aims to restore a normal heart rhythm and improve symptoms.
This trial tests a new tool called FARAFLEX that uses pulsed electrical energy to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm). The goal is to see if this method can safely stop AF symptoms in people whose medications haven't worked.
This trial tests a new catheter-based treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) — a type of irregular heartbeat that comes and goes. It uses a special balloon catheter to deliver energy to the heart to help restore a normal rhythm. This may be an option if medications haven't controlled your symptoms.
This study tests a new way to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) using pulsed field ablation, which uses short electrical pulses to safely target heart tissue. It may help people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (episodes that come and go) who are candidates for catheter ablation, a procedure to correct heart rhythm.
This trial tests a new, domestically made catheter that can measure tissue temperature during the procedure. It is used to treat rapid heart rhythms like supraventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective for patients who need catheter ablation.
This trial tests whether a “virtual” computer map created from your heart scans can help doctors do catheter ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (AF). It aims to improve the procedure for people whose AF symptoms were not controlled well with anti-arrhythmia medicines.
