New balloon zaps away AFib without heat
NCT ID NCT07320976
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new balloon catheter that uses pulsed electric fields instead of heat to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib), a common heart rhythm problem. About 35 adults with short-lasting AFib will receive the procedure. The goal is to see if the balloon safely and effectively blocks faulty electrical signals in the heart, helping restore a normal rhythm.
