Varipulse catheter study for persistent atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new catheter to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat lasting more than 7 days but less than a year). It aims to isolate the pulmonary veins and superior vena cava to restore normal rhythm. Some participants may also receive a left atrial appendage occlusion device if needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) that has lasted between 7 days and 1 year, confirmed by heart recordings.
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are willing and able to follow all study procedures and visits.
- You have not had any prior surgical or catheter ablation for AF.
- You do not have a heart clot, severely weak heart pump, or other serious heart conditions.
- You do not have a metal cardiac device (like certain defibrillators) that could interfere with the treatment.

This trial studies a new catheter called Varipulse to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeats that come and go) in people whose symptoms are not controlled by medication or who can't tolerate the side effects. The procedure is done under optimized sedation to help you relax.
This study tests two types of pulsed field ablation catheters to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm problem lasting more than 7 days but less than a year. The goal is to see if these catheters can safely and effectively restore a normal heart rhythm.
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 study tests a new catheter that uses pulsed field energy to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), a heart rhythm problem. It aims to see how well it reduces the amount of AF you have over time. If you have paroxysmal or persistent AF, this might be an option for you.
This study tests a new catheter and generator system to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that lasts more than a week). It may help people whose symptoms haven't been controlled by medication and who need a procedure called ablation to fix the heart's electrical signals.
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.
