Sound-Guided Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new imaging technology (CARTO SOUND) to help doctors guide a minimally invasive heart procedure that treats atrial fibrillation—a common irregular heartbeat. The goal is to make the procedure safer and more effective by giving doctors better real-time guidance during the ablation (controlled scarring of heart tissue).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeats that come and go) and your doctor says you need a catheter ablation procedure
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You can commit to attending all pre-procedure visits, the procedure itself, and follow-up appointments
- You are willing to sign a consent form confirming you understand the study
- You do not have a blood clot in your heart, severe liver or kidney disease, or other conditions that would make the procedure unsafe

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.
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 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 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 way to treat atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm problem) using a special catheter that delivers quick electrical pulses to fix the heart's rhythm. The goal is to see if this method is safe and effective, which might offer an alternative to traditional treatments.
