Study of a new catheter for atrial fibrillation ablation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation that comes and goes (paroxysmal) or is persistent.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have tried at least one heart rhythm medication that didn't work or caused side effects.
- You have not had a prior ablation or certain heart surgeries.
- You do not have severe heart failure, recent heart attack, or other major health issues listed in the study rules.

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.
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.
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.
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 trial studies a heart procedure using the Affera SpherePVI system to treat paroxysmal (comes and goes) or persistent atrial fibrillation. It’s for people who still have symptoms despite at least one anti-arrhythmia medicine, and who are good candidates for catheter ablation.
This trial tests a new balloon-based catheter procedure to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat lasting at least a week). The procedure uses a special energy technique to stop abnormal electrical signals in your heart.
