Testing the Rook tool for heart sac access
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new tool called Rook to help doctors get into the sac around your heart during a heart procedure. It is for people who already need this type of heart procedure and meet certain health requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a heart procedure that needs to go into the sac around your heart (the pericardium).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have not had heart surgery in the past.
- You have not had a heart attack in the last 4 weeks.
- You do not have an active infection.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is not over 40.

This trial tests a new device to help doctors safely enter the left side of your heart during a procedure called ablation. If you are already scheduled for an ablation or a combined ablation and left atrial appendage closure, this study may be an option.
This trial tests a new device called the VentriCure that helps the heart pump blood. It is for people with severe coronary artery disease and a weak heart who cannot have bypass surgery or choose not to.
This trial is testing a new robotic system, R-Star, to help doctors perform minimally invasive procedures to open blocked heart arteries. It may offer a more precise treatment option for people with coronary artery disease who need a stent.
This study tests how heart electrical signals are mapped and recorded during a standard catheter procedure for atrial or ventricular rhythm problems. It may help researchers improve the way doctors analyze rhythm data, using a specific mapping system.
This trial tests the safety and early performance of the Xtrac O.S. system, a new tool designed to remove old pacemaker or defibrillator leads. It may help patients who need their leads taken out after being in place for 1 to 5 years.
This trial tests a temporary heart pump (called the KARDION Cory P4) used during a high-risk angioplasty (stenting) procedure. The pump helps keep blood flowing in patients whose heart is weak or who have complex blockages, aiming to make the procedure safer.
