Pulsed field ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have paroxysmal AF (episodes that stop on their own within 7 days), confirmed by a heart monitor test
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You have not had a previous AF ablation procedure
- You do not have a blood clot in the heart's left atrium or its appendage
- You have not had a stroke or heart attack in the last month
- You are willing to take blood thinners and to follow up regularly

This trial tests whether using only ultrasound to guide a heart procedure called pulsed field ablation is as safe and effective as using X-ray. The procedure uses short energy pulses to fix irregular heartbeats in people with atrial fibrillation.
This trial tests a newer ablation procedure (PulseSelect) to treat atrial fibrillation—a common heart rhythm problem. The goal is to see if this optimized workflow helps patients have fewer symptoms and better outcomes.
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.
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 way to treat atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm problem) using a special catheter that delivers quick electrical pulses to fix the heart's rhythm. The goal is to see if this method is safe and effective, which might offer an alternative to traditional treatments.
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.
