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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new procedure called pulsed field ablation to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (long-lasting irregular heartbeat). It compares different ways of using the procedure and may be an option if heart rhythm medicines haven't worked for you.
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 tests a new balloon-based catheter procedure to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat lasting at least a week). The procedure uses a special energy technique to stop abnormal electrical signals in your heart.
This study tests a new type of energy (pulsed-field ablation) to create a lasting block in a specific area of the heart, aiming to improve the success of a procedure for people with persistent atrial fibrillation.
This trial tests two different ablation techniques to treat a type of irregular heartbeat that doesn't go away on its own. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer.
