Comparing energy types for repeat atrial fibrillation treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two different energy methods (electroporation vs radiofrequency ablation) guided by 3D imaging for people who have had a prior ablation for atrial fibrillation but still have recurrences. It aims to find which method is safer and more effective for repeat procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have recurrent atrial fibrillation or an atypical atrial flutter after a prior pulmonary vein isolation procedure
- You are eligible to undergo another pulmonary vein isolation procedure
- Your left ventricular ejection fraction is 30% or higher
- Your left atrial volume index is 72 mL/m² or less
- You do not have untreated hyperthyroidism, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or severe valvular heart disease

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.
This trial tests a new type of ablation (pulsed field ablation) against standard radiofrequency ablation for people with persistent atrial fibrillation that hasn't been controlled well by medication. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer.
This trial compares a newer type of ablation (pulsed field) with the standard radiofrequency ablation for people with persistent atrial fibrillation that hasn't been treated with ablation before. The goal is to see which method works better and has fewer risks.
This trial tests whether one ablation approach works better than another for paroxysmal (intermittent) atrial fibrillation by targeting the heart’s “triggers” and “substrate” (where the rhythm problem is). If you qualify, you’ll be randomly assigned to one of two ablation energy methods during a pulmonary vein isolation procedure.
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.
This study compares two ways to perform a heart procedure called ablation to treat atrial fibrillation, a condition that causes an irregular heartbeat. The goal is to find out which approach is safer and more effective at restoring a normal heart rhythm.
