Pulsed field ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests an investigational device that uses pulsed electric fields to precisely target and disable the tiny areas in the heart that cause irregular heartbeats. It's for people with intermittent (paroxysmal) atrial fibrillation who haven't been helped by medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have paroxysmal (intermittent) atrial fibrillation symptoms that keep coming back
- You have tried at least one heart rhythm medication that didn't work or caused side effects
- Your AFib is not constant or lasting longer than 12 months
- You have not had prior left atrial ablation or heart surgery on the left atrium
- No heart attack, stent, or heart surgery within the last 3 months; no stroke or blood clot within the last 6 months
- Your BMI is 40 or less, your heart's pumping function is at least 35%, and your left atrium is not too enlarged

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 new device that uses pulsed electric fields to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of irregular heartbeat. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for people with AF that comes and goes or lasts for a short time.
This trial studies a new type of energy, called pulsed field ablation, to treat a heart rhythm problem called paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). The goal is to safely isolate the areas of the heart causing the irregular beats, which may help reduce symptoms.
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 gathers real-world data on people having a procedure called pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It helps doctors learn how well the Globe system works in everyday practice.
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.
