Pulsed field ablation after left atrial appendage closure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of heart procedure called pulsed field ablation to treat an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) in people who have already had a device placed to close off a part of the heart (left atrial appendage occlusion). The goal is to see if this safer ablation method can help control your heart rhythm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have atrial fibrillation that causes symptoms.
- You have tried at least one heart rhythm medication that didn't work or caused side effects.
- You have not had any prior surgery on the left atrium of your heart.
- You are willing to follow the study plan and sign a consent form.

This trial tests a newer ablation technique called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder. The goal is to see if this method works well and is safe for patients who need treatment.
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.
This study tests a newer ablation technique using pulsed electrical energy to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). You may qualify if you were recently diagnosed with AF and haven't had ablation before.
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 trial compares a newer type of ablation (pulsed field) with the standard radiofrequency ablation for people with persistent atrial fibrillation that hasn't been treated with ablation before. The goal is to see which method works better and has fewer risks.
This trial tests a new pulsed-field device used during an atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation, aiming to improve safety and effectiveness. It’s for people who have AF and are planning an AF ablation procedure.
