NCT ID NCT07294742

First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This early study tests a new balloon-shaped catheter that uses pulsed electric fields to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat. 34 adults aged 18-75 with persistent AF will undergo the procedure and be followed for 12 months to check safety and how well the treatment works. The goal is to see if the catheter can safely create lasting scars to block faulty electrical signals in the heart.
