New heart procedure tested for stubborn irregular heartbeat

NCT ID NCT05443594

Completed Disease control Sponsor: Boston Scientific Corporation Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study tested a new medical device called the FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System for treating persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib) that doesn't respond to medication. It involved 669 adults with drug-resistant, symptomatic AFib to see if the procedure was safe and effective at controlling their irregular heartbeat over one year. The procedure uses electrical pulses to create scar tissue in the heart to block the faulty electrical signals causing AFib.
