NCT ID NCT06510556

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study is testing a new device called the FARAFLEX system, which uses targeted electrical pulses to treat atrial fibrillation, a common heart rhythm problem. About 250 adults with persistent or paroxysmal atrial fibrillation will take part. The goal is to see if the device is safe and can effectively restore a normal heart rhythm.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

FARAFLEX mapping and pulsed field ablation (PFA) catheter

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new, safer option for treating atrial fibrillation by using targeted electrical pulses instead of heat or cold.

What could go wrong

This is an early feasibility study, so the device may not work as well as expected or could cause side effects like heart rhythm problems or blood clots. Results may not apply to all patients.
