A new ablation treatment for atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of ablation (pulsed field ablation) for people with atrial fibrillation who haven't gotten enough relief from medication alone. It aims to see if isolating the superior vena cava along with the pulmonary veins is safe and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (confirmed by an EKG or heart monitor in the last year)
- You have tried at least one heart rhythm medication that didn't work well or caused side effects
- You are willing to use a pulsed field ablation system that is approved in China
- You have not had any prior surgery or catheter procedure for an irregular heartbeat

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.
This trial tests whether reusing special catheters to treat atrial fibrillation is safe, effective, and better for costs and the environment. It may help people with atrial fibrillation who need a procedure called pulmonary vein isolation.
This study tests a new balloon catheter that uses pulsed electric fields to isolate the veins that carry blood from your lungs to your heart. It may be a treatment option for people with atrial fibrillation who are scheduled for an ablation procedure.
This study tests a new ablation method for people with atrial fibrillation who have not had a prior episode and whose heart tissue shows no low-voltage areas but has a transition zone during mapping. It aims to see if targeting this area improves outcomes.
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 new way to treat persistent atrial fibrillation using short bursts of electricity (pulsed fields) to carefully reset the heart's rhythm. It may help people whose irregular heartbeat has not improved with medication.
