Electric pulses aim to tame irregular heartbeat after stroke prevention surgery
NCT ID NCT07313228
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a procedure called pulsed field ablation in 70 people with atrial fibrillation who have already had a left atrial appendage occlusion to prevent stroke. The procedure uses electric pulses to destroy small areas of heart tissue causing the irregular rhythm. Researchers will check if it safely prevents atrial fibrillation from coming back over 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Pulsed field ablation (a procedure using electric pulses to destroy heart tissue causing abnormal rhythms)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a safer way to control atrial fibrillation in patients who already had a stroke-prevention procedure, potentially reducing the need for long-term medication.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial at one center with no comparison group. The procedure carries risks like bleeding, heart damage, or arrhythmia recurrence. Results may not apply to all patients.
