New ablation technique takes aim at stubborn heart rhythm problem
NCT ID NCT07003412
First seen Sep 10, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
The PULSE PVC Registry collects data from European centers on patients with symptomatic premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) who receive focal pulsed field ablation using the Centauri Generator system. Researchers track whether the procedure reduces PVC burden to less than 5% at six months and compare outcomes with historical radiofrequency ablation results. The study aims to see how well this approach works across different PVC origins and to monitor safety.
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 Centauri Generator system
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could give doctors a new way to treat symptomatic PVCs that avoids some limitations of heat-based ablation.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a randomized trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all patients or centers, and long-term outcomes beyond six months are not captured.

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
he study population consists of adult patients (age ≥18 years) with symptomatic premature ventricular contractions undergoing focal monopolar biphasic pulsed field ablation. All patients included must have been treated with the Centauri Generator system and have a minimum of 3 months of follow-up data available at the time of registry entry. The population is expected to be heterogeneous, including patients with and without structural heart disease, and PVCs originating from various anatomical sites. Patients will be enrolled across multiple European electrophysiology centers with varying procedural practices, enhancing the generalizability of the findings.
