New mapping tech aims to improve heart ablation for AFib patients
NCT ID NCT06808217
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This registry tracks 550 people with atrial fibrillation who are treated with the FARAPULSE pulsed field ablation system, using a special catheter and mapping technology. The goal is to see how safe and effective the procedure is in real-world settings over one year. Researchers will look at complications and how well the treatment controls the heart rhythm.
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 (device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that using the FARAPULSE system with advanced mapping improves safety and success rates for treating atrial fibrillation.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a randomized trial, so results may not prove cause and effect. Risks include procedure-related complications like bleeding or heart rhythm issues.

Inclusion Criteria: * Subjects are prospectively planned and intended to be treated with the FARAPULSE™ Pulsed Field Ablation system for cardiac tissue ablation, per physician's medical judgement, and as per hospitals' standard of care * Subjects who are willing and capable of providing informed consent * Subjects who are willing and capable of participating to this Registry at an approved clinical investigational center * Subjects whose age is 18 years or above, or who are of legal age to give informed consent specific to state and national law * Subjects are planned to undergo an ablation procedure whereby the FARAWAVE NAV PF Ablation Catheter is used in conjunction with the OPAL HDx Mapping System. Exclusion Criteria: * Subjects who are currently enrolled in another investigational study or registry that would directly interfere with the current study. Exceptions are when the subject is participating in a mandatory governmental registry, or a purely observational registry, that do not interfere with the current study
