New energy treatment for atrial fibrillation during heart surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device that uses pulsed field energy to treat atrial fibrillation while you are already having open-heart surgery for other heart problems. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well in correcting the irregular heartbeat.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are scheduled for open-heart surgery (like heart valve repair/replacement or bypass).
- You have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) that is occasional, persistent, or long-lasting.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and attend follow-up visits.
- You have not had previous heart surgery, including ablation for atrial fibrillation.
- You do not have a pacemaker, defibrillator, or artificial heart valve.

This trial looks at whether a special heart rhythm treatment called “ablation” works well when done during certain heart operations. It may help reduce atrial fibrillation (AF) symptoms or future abnormal rhythm episodes for people who are already having surgery.
This trial tests a new device used during open-heart surgery to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib) by delivering tiny, fast electrical pulses to the heart tissue. It is for people who are already having heart surgery and want to also treat their AFib at the same time.
This trial tests a new device called CellFX that uses nanosecond pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation during open-heart surgery. It may help you if you already need heart surgery and also have AFib.
This study tests if a new type of energy called pulse field ablation (a procedure that uses short bursts of electric pulses) works as well as standard ablation for restoring normal heart rhythm in patients with episodes of irregular heartbeat. It may help your heart pump more normally.
This trial tests a new procedure that uses pulsed electric fields to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective in restoring a normal heart rhythm.
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.
