New heart ablation tech tracked in 10,000-Patient registry
NCT ID NCT06335082
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This registry is following 10,000 people with atrial fibrillation who are getting a procedure called pulsed field ablation using the Farapulse system. The goal is to see how well it stops irregular heart rhythms and how safe it is in everyday medical practice. Researchers will track patients for long-term results and any complications.
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 using the Farapulse system
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could confirm that Farapulse ablation is a safe and effective way to control atrial fibrillation without long-term medication.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a randomized trial, so results may be less definitive. Risks include procedure-related complications like bleeding or heart rhythm issues.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients who, in the opinion of the Investigator, are candidates for ablation for AF * Plans to undergo an ablation procedure using the FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System manufactured by Boston Scientific (as of July 1, 2026, patients enrolled must have procedures completed using the OPAL HDx mapping system, unless the subject is participating in a sub-study not requiring OPAL usage) * De Novo or repeat procedure using the FARAPULSE Pulse Field Ablation System. * 18 years of age or older * Able and willing to participate in baseline and follow up evaluations for the full length of the registry Exclusion Criteria: * Enrolled in an investigational drug or device trial, or any trial that dictates the treatment plan without prior approval from Sponsor * Currently receiving inotropic or mechanical support for Stage IV congestive heart failure, cardiogenic and/or septic shock. * In the opinion of the Investigator, any known contraindication to an ablation procedure or to any device or drug required for use during an ablation procedure as assessed by the Investigator
