MAGiC heart ablation study with magnetic navigation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new magnetic system (MAGiC) to guide heart ablation procedures for people with irregular heartbeats. It aims to see if using magnets to steer catheters is safe and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You need a heart ablation for an irregular heartbeat (atrial or ventricular arrhythmia).
- It is safe for you to be around strong magnetic fields.
- You can lie flat on your back for a long time and can make follow-up visits for up to 12 months.
- You do not have implanted devices that are unsafe in MRI machines (like some pacemakers or metal clips).
- If you could become pregnant, you are not pregnant and will not become pregnant during the study.

This study tests a new imaging technique to help guide heart ablation procedures for certain heart rhythm problems. It may help doctors see exactly where to treat.
This study tests a new catheter-based treatment for people with certain types of very fast or extra heartbeats that come from the lower chambers of the heart. The catheter uses a special energy to stop the abnormal beats and might help if you have had symptoms despite other treatments.
This trial tests a new magnetic-guided catheter to treat rapid heart rhythms like atrial fibrillation or supraventricular tachycardia. It may help people who haven't found relief from medications or prefer a procedure without prior drug therapy.
This trial studies a heart rhythm procedure (“ablation”) for people with ischemic cardiomyopathy who have ongoing episodes of sustained ventricular tachycardia. It aims to reduce these dangerous rhythm events, especially when standard anti-rhythm medications don’t work or can’t be used.
This trial tests a new magnetic surgical system (called MACS) to see if it is safe and works well during planned surgeries. If you are having a non-emergency surgery and are generally healthy, you may qualify.
This trial tests a new catheter that can measure tissue temperature during ablation for rapid heartbeats like supraventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation. It aims to see if it is safe and effective.
