A new heart procedure for atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new catheter that uses pulsed field energy to isolate the veins in your heart that trigger atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see how long the effects last, and you would need to have a repeat procedure about 2–3 months after the first one.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had episodes of atrial fibrillation that come and go (paroxysmal AF).
- Your doctor has recommended a pulmonary vein isolation procedure based on current guidelines.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are willing and able to have a follow-up procedure 2–3 months after the first one.
- You do not have other significant heart conditions, bleeding disorders, or recent stroke.

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 trial tests a newer type of energy (pulsed field ablation) against the standard heat-based method (radiofrequency) for people who have already had one ablation and now have atrial fibrillation again. The goal is to see which works better for keeping your heart in a normal rhythm.
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 trial tests a new method called pulsed field ablation (PFA) to treat irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation) by isolating the veins that carry blood to your heart. It aims to see how well this procedure works and if it's safe for you.
This trial compares different techniques for a second heart ablation procedure in people with atrial fibrillation (AFib) who have already had one ablation. It aims to find the best approach to stop AFib from coming back.
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.
