Pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of energy called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat. It aims to see if it is safe and effective for people whose symptoms have not improved with medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have atrial fibrillation that comes and goes or lasts less than a year, and it causes symptoms.
- You have tried at least one heart rhythm medication and it did not work well or caused side effects.
- You are planning to have a catheter ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation.
- You are willing to attend follow-up visits at 30 and 90 days after the 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 device that uses pulsed electric fields to treat atrial fibrillation, a condition that causes an irregular heartbeat. The goal is to see if this approach safely and effectively restores a normal heart rhythm in people who have been recently diagnosed.
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 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.
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 study tests a new way to treat atrial fibrillation using targeted electrical pulses (pulsed field ablation) instead of heat or cold. The goal is to improve safety and outcomes for people with paroxysmal or persistent AF.
