New heart device aims to tame stubborn AFib

NCT ID NCT06735534

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study is testing the FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation system in 376 people with persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib) who have already had a prior ablation. The device uses electrical pulses to destroy the heart tissue causing the abnormal rhythm. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective for a repeat procedure.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System (a device that uses electrical pulses to destroy heart tissue causing abnormal rhythms)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a safe and effective way to treat persistent atrial fibrillation in people who have already had a prior ablation, potentially reducing the need for long-term medication.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage, single-arm study with no comparison group, so results may not be definitive. Risks include procedure-related complications like bleeding, heart damage, or stroke.
