Pulsed field ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of ablation called pulsed field ablation to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF that comes and goes). It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective at isolating the veins that trigger AF, and it may help people who still have symptoms despite medication and are having their first ablation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF that comes and goes within 7 days).
- You still have symptoms even after trying medication for your AF.
- This is your first time having a catheter ablation procedure.
- Your AF is not caused by something temporary like a thyroid problem or electrolyte imbalance.
- You do not have any metal implants in your heart, a blood clot, or a history of a certain heart defect closure.

This trial tests a new type of heart procedure that uses gentle electrical pulses to fix abnormal signals in the upper chambers of the heart for people with a specific type of atrial fibrillation that comes and goes on its own. It may be an option if your AFib episodes stop within 7 days and medications haven't helped enough.
This study tests if a new type of energy called pulse field ablation (a procedure that uses short bursts of electric pulses) works as well as standard ablation for restoring normal heart rhythm in patients with episodes of irregular heartbeat. It may help your heart pump more normally.
This trial studies a new procedure called pulsed field ablation to treat brief episodes of atrial fibrillation (AFib). The goal is to see if it can help reset the heart's natural electrical system and reduce symptoms.
This study tests a new 3D-guided technique using pulsed field energy to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that comes and goes. It may help patients who have not had a prior ablation and have a heart strong enough for the procedure.
This study tests a new way to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) using pulsed field energy. The goal is to block abnormal electrical signals from the pulmonary veins and superior vena cava, which may help prevent AF episodes from coming back.
This trial tests a new method called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of irregular heartbeat. It aims to safely stop AF episodes by targeting specific areas in the heart, and may help people with paroxysmal (coming and going) or persistent AF who haven't had this procedure before.
