Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation Treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm) and are willing to undergo a catheter ablation procedure
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have not had any heart procedures or surgery in the past 3 months
- You have not had a stroke or mini-stroke in the past 6 months
- You are not allergic to iodine contrast dye (used during the procedure)

This trial tests a newer treatment called pulsed field ablation (PFA) for people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), where the heart's rhythm is irregular and comes and goes on its own within 7 days. The goal is to see if PFA can restore a normal heart rhythm while better protecting the heart's left atrial function, which helps pump blood effectively. If you have AF and medications haven't worked, this could be an option to discuss with your doctor.
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 trial tests a new way to treat non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) using a focused type of ablation (pulsed-field energy) on specific areas of the heart. It aims to see if targeting the left atrial wall and mitral isthmus can improve outcomes for people who have not had this procedure before.
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 special catheter that uses pulsed field energy to ablate (destroy) the tiny areas in the heart causing irregular heartbeats. It is designed for people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (episodes that come and go) that hasn't been controlled by medication.
This trial tests a new type of heart procedure called pulsed field ablation for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (a long-lasting irregular heartbeat). It compares three different ways to use this ablation to try to restore a normal heart rhythm and reduce symptoms.
