Testing a new catheter for atrial fibrillation treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new catheter system, called Varipulse, to see if it's safe and effective for treating atrial fibrillation (AF), a heart rhythm problem. People with short-lasting AF who haven't been helped by medication may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have atrial fibrillation that comes and goes (called paroxysmal AF), not constant AF.
- At least one heart rhythm medication hasn't worked for you, gave you side effects, or you don't want to take it.
- You haven't had any previous surgery or catheter procedure to treat AF.
- You're willing to follow the study schedule for tests and follow-up visits.

This study compares two different catheters that use pulsed field ablation to treat a type of irregular heartbeat called persistent atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see which one works better and is safer.
This study tests a new procedure called pulsed field ablation using a special catheter to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of heart rhythm problem that comes and goes. It may be an option for people whose AF hasn't been controlled well with medication.
This study tests a new catheter to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat lasting more than 7 days but less than a year). It aims to isolate the pulmonary veins and superior vena cava to restore normal rhythm. Some participants may also receive a left atrial appendage occlusion device if needed.
This trial tests a new catheter system to treat atrial fibrillation (AF) by creating small scars in the heart to block faulty signals. It may help people with symptoms that continue despite medication and who are scheduled for a standard ablation procedure.
This study tests a new catheter and generator system to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that lasts more than a week). It may help people whose symptoms haven't been controlled by medication and who need a procedure called ablation to fix the heart's electrical signals.
This study tests a new type of catheter ablation (a procedure that uses energy to treat irregular heartbeats) for atrial fibrillation—a common heart rhythm problem. You may qualify if you have recurring irregular heartbeats that haven't responded well to heart medications and are planning to have this procedure.
