Targeted ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing a specific approach to catheter ablation for people with persistent atrial fibrillation. It aims to improve how abnormal heart tissue is targeted to help restore a normal rhythm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of long-lasting irregular heartbeat).
- You must be scheduled for your very first catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
- You must not have had any previous catheter ablation in the left upper chamber of your heart for atrial fibrillation or other irregular rhythms.
- You must not have any health conditions that would make a catheter ablation unsafe for you.

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 trial compares two catheter ablation techniques for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat that doesn't go away on its own). It will test whether a more extensive ablation (burning more heart tissue) works better than the standard procedure of isolating the pulmonary veins (the veins that bring blood from the lungs to the heart). If you have this condition and have had at least one episode in the past year, this study might help you find a more effective treatment.
This trial tests whether using a special heart-mapping device during ablation (a procedure to fix irregular heartbeats) can improve outcomes for people with persistent atrial fibrillation and an enlarged left heart chamber.
This trial looks at whether tailoring an ablation procedure to you can work better for people with persistent atrial fibrillation. It’s for patients getting their first left atrial ablation and who have had AF for less than 24 months.
This trial is testing a new way to treat atrial fibrillation by using a catheter to target the specific areas in the heart that trigger the irregular heartbeat. If you have persistent atrial fibrillation and haven't had prior catheter ablation, you may be eligible to join.
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.
