Ultrasound-guided ablation for atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of guiding a procedure called pulsed field ablation, which uses energy to fix irregular heartbeats in people with atrial fibrillation. One method uses ultrasound, the other uses X-ray. The goal is to see if ultrasound works as well and is safer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have a type of atrial fibrillation called paroxysmal (comes and goes) and are scheduled for pulsed field ablation.
- You have not had a prior catheter ablation or heart surgery for atrial fibrillation.
- You do not have certain heart conditions or devices (like a left atrial appendage occluder or mechanical mitral valve).
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the trial.
- You are not currently in another clinical trial.

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.
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 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 newer, gentler way to fix irregular heartbeats in people with paroxysmal AF. The treatment uses special energy (pulsed fields) guided by 3D imaging to target the heart tissue causing the problem, and the goal is to restore a normal rhythm with fewer risks.
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 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.
