New catheter treatment for persistent atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a special catheter that uses two types of energy to fix the irregular heartbeats in people with persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib). It aims to see if it's safe and effective in helping restore a normal heart rhythm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have persistent AFib (continuous irregular heartbeat for more than 7 days but less than a year).
- You have tried at least one medication to control your heart rhythm and it didn't work or caused side effects.
- You do not have severe heart failure, severe valve problems, or other serious heart conditions.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study.

This trial tests a new catheter system to treat atrial fibrillation (AF) by creating small scars in the heart to block faulty signals. It may help people with symptoms that continue despite medication and who are scheduled for a standard ablation procedure.
This study tests two types of pulsed field ablation catheters to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm problem lasting more than 7 days but less than a year. The goal is to see if these catheters can safely and effectively restore a normal heart rhythm.
This study tests a new catheter system, called Varipulse, to see if it's safe and effective for treating atrial fibrillation (AF), a heart rhythm problem. People with short-lasting AF who haven't been helped by medication may be able to join.
This trial studies catheter ablation, a procedure that targets heart rhythm triggers, for people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It may help improve rhythm control, but you must meet specific heart and testing requirements and avoid certain conditions.
This trial tests a catheter ablation procedure for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat that lasts more than 7 days but less than a year). It aims to see if the procedure is safe and effective for restoring a normal heart rhythm.
This trial tests a new balloon catheter that uses pulsed electric fields to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that lasts more than 7 days. The treatment aims to restore normal heart rhythm and may be an option for people who have not had prior heart procedures.
