Preventing stroke during heart catheter ablation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at acute brain (stroke-like) events in people getting a heart rhythm procedure called catheter ablation. It may help doctors reduce the risk of sudden brain injury around the time of ablation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having catheter ablation for a heart rhythm problem (arrhythmia)
- You must NOT have been diagnosed with an acute stroke or sudden brain blood-flow problem before the ablation
- You are between 18 and 80 years old (18 to 80)
- Your study-related medical information must be complete (no missing key records)

This study looks at unique biological markers in people who are getting a catheter ablation for certain types of fast or irregular heartbeats. It may help find patterns that improve treatment.
This trial tests whether a specialized “brain protection” device can improve safety during atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation. It may help reduce the risk of stroke or related complications while treating AF.
This study compares different methods of treating irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) using ablation. It specifically measures tiny clots that may form in the brain during this procedure and tests whether newer energy types create fewer of them.
This trial studies a procedure called catheter ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in people who have had a brain hemorrhage. The procedure aims to reduce stroke risk and improve heart rhythm without increasing bleeding risk.
This trial studies a way to help protect the brain during a catheter procedure that closes the left atrial appendage (a small heart pouch) in people with atrial fibrillation. It may help lower the risk of stroke-related brain injury for patients who can’t safely take blood thinners.
This study looks at whether a procedure called catheter ablation (which corrects irregular heartbeats) can help people who have had a stroke and just found out they have atrial fibrillation. If you join, the team will track your neurological recovery and heart rhythm over time.
