A safer way to treat paroxysrial atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new method of catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, using a special saline solution and higher power for shorter duration to isolate the pulmonary veins. It aims to improve safety and effectiveness while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Have a type of irregular heartbeat called paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (episodes that come and go)
- Are scheduled to have a catheter ablation procedure (a treatment that uses heat to fix the heart's rhythm)
- Are willing to give written informed consent and to attend follow-up visits
- Do not have severe heart failure, recent heart attack, active bleeding, or serious organ problems

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 study tests a new heart procedure using pulsed field ablation (a type of energy to fix irregular heartbeats) for people who have had atrial fibrillation for less than a year. It may help restore a normal heart rhythm and reduce symptoms.
This trial tests a new method to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (a long-lasting irregular heartbeat) to see if it helps patients who haven't been helped by medication. It focuses on cleaning up the back wall of the heart to restore a normal rhythm.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses two types of energy (pulsed field and radiofrequency) to fix the heart's electrical signals in people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib that comes and goes). It aims to be more effective and safer than standard ablation alone.
This trial studies a new procedure called pulsed field ablation to treat brief episodes of atrial fibrillation (AFib). The goal is to see if it can help reset the heart's natural electrical system and 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.
