Improving workflow during pulse field ablation for atrial fibrillation
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at ways to make a heart procedure called pulse field ablation more efficient for people with atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if changing the workflow can make the procedure safer or faster, and the study will follow participants for a year.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) – that is, AF that comes and goes or lasts longer than a week.
- You are scheduled to have a procedure called pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) – an ablation treatment for AF.
- You are willing to follow the study plan for one year and can understand the study goals.
- You are not allergic to lidocaine (a numbing medication).
- You do not have a blood clot in the left atrium or its appendage.
- You do not have significant lung disease such as asthma, COPD, or interstitial lung disease that needs ongoing treatment.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study tests a newer, gentler way to fix irregular heartbeats in people with paroxysmal AF. The treatment uses special energy (pulsed fields) guided by 3D imaging to target the heart tissue causing the problem, and the goal is to restore a normal rhythm with fewer risks.
This trial compares two ways to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that lasts for months or years). One method uses pulsed field energy and the other uses radiofrequency heat to fix the heart's electrical signals. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective for patients having their first ablation procedure.
This study tests a new way to do a heart procedure (catheter ablation) for people with ongoing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It uses pulsed-field energy to create a block in the heart that stops abnormal electrical signals. The goal is to improve the procedure's success and reduce risks.
This study tests a new heart procedure using pulsed field ablation (a type of energy to fix irregular heartbeats) for people who have had atrial fibrillation for less than a year. It may help restore a normal heart rhythm and reduce symptoms.
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.
