  • Johnson & Johnson initiated PERSIGMA, randomized controlled trial designed to generate head-to-head evidence on pulsed field ablation platforms in persistent atrial fibrillation.
  • Trial will enroll up to 466 patients across 50 sites, comparing investigational VARIPULSE Pro with FARAPULSE.
  • Primary readouts will focus on safety events, effectiveness measured as freedom from arrhythmia recurrence during follow-up.
  • Early procedural experience from one of first PERSIGMA cases will be presented at Heart Rhythm 2026 on April 24.
  • Study adds comparative data intended to support product positioning for Johnson & Johnson electrophysiology portfolio as pulsed field ablation adoption expands into more complex patients.
