Sedation options for pulsed field ablation in atrial fibrillation
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to keep patients comfortable during a procedure called pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation: conscious sedation (you're awake but relaxed) versus general anesthesia (you're fully asleep). The goal is to find which method works better and is safer for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib that comes and goes).
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You are scheduled to have pulsed field ablation or are willing to have it.
- You are in good general health (classified as ASA I to III by an anesthesiologist).
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant soon.

This trial compares two ways of keeping you comfortable during a pulsed-field ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation: conscious sedation (you're awake but relaxed) versus general anesthesia (you're fully asleep). The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective for patients like you.
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 type of energy called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation, an irregular heartbeat. It aims to see if it is safe and effective for people whose symptoms have not improved with medication.
This trial tests a streamlined sedation approach during pulsed-field ablation, a newer technique to treat irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation). Researchers want to confirm it's safe and practical.
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 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.
