New ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses two types of energy (pulsed field and radiofrequency) to fix the heart's electrical signals in people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib that comes and goes). It aims to be more effective and safer than standard ablation alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have atrial fibrillation that comes and goes (paroxysmal) and lasts at least 30 seconds.
- You have not had a previous ablation for atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
- You do not have a pacemaker or defibrillator.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or less.

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 trial studies a new type of energy, called pulsed field ablation, to treat a heart rhythm problem called paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). The goal is to safely isolate the areas of the heart causing the irregular beats, which may help reduce symptoms.
This trial compares two procedures — one that targets the heart's nerve connections (cardioneuroablation) and one that isolates the pulmonary veins — to see which is better at preventing paroxysmal atrial fibrillation from coming back. If you qualify, you may receive a treatment that could reduce your symptoms and improve your heart rhythm control.
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 study compares two ways of using a new type of energy called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if using a special heart map to guide the treatment works better than the standard approach. If you have intermittent irregular heartbeats from AF, this trial might help improve your care.
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.
