Comparison of Two Pulse Field Ablation Systems for AF Ablation

Comparative Efficacy, Safety, and Efficiency of SYSTEM 1 Versus SYSTEM 2 Pulse Field Ablation Systems for Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Randomized Controlled Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 20 Oct 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This study randomizes patients undergoing PFA for A Fib to one of two standard care PFA systems. The patient will have an ICM placed to continuously monitor their heart rhythm. Follow up visits will occur until Month 36, and will include 12-lead ECG, ICM interrogation, AE updates, and QOL surveys.
