Comparing a faster ablation method for atrial fibrillation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares a newer, faster type of ablation (high-power short-duration) with the standard approach for treating atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective at restoring a normal heart rhythm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old
- You have atrial fibrillation that hasn't been controlled well with medication
- You have the paroxysmal (comes and goes) or persistent (lasts for weeks) type of atrial fibrillation
- You have not had open-heart surgery before
- You do not have another heart condition that requires surgery (like a serious valve problem or a hole in the heart)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two procedures to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that lasts more than a week). It looks at whether a newer method (pulsed-field ablation) works better than the standard method (radiofrequency ablation), both combined with a chemical injection to improve treatment success.
This trial compares two minimally invasive heart procedures for persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). The aim is to see which one is safer and more effective at restoring a normal heart rhythm.
This trial compares two different ways of delivering pulsed field ablation—a newer, targeted energy that zaps abnormal heart tissue—for people with atrial fibrillation. It aims to see if a single broader application works as well as a more focused, two-step approach, and it may help you feel better if you have symptoms from this irregular heartbeat.
This trial compares two ways of performing a heart procedure called ablation to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for patients.
This study compares two types of ablation (a procedure that uses energy to fix irregular heartbeats) for people with persistent atrial fibrillation. It tests whether adding extra treatment to the back of the heart's left upper chamber helps improve outcomes compared to standard treatment alone.
This trial tests a newer type of energy (pulsed field ablation) against the standard heat-based method (radiofrequency) for people who have already had one ablation and now have atrial fibrillation again. The goal is to see which works better for keeping your heart in a normal rhythm.
