New heart ablation method could be safer, trial aims to prove
NCT ID NCT07156877
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a new pulsed field ablation (PFA) catheter to standard heat or cold ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). About 136 adults with AF will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods. Researchers will check if the new approach is as good at preventing irregular heartbeats and if it causes fewer serious complications.
