Esophageal temperature monitoring during heart ablation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to monitor the temperature in your esophagus during a standard heart ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if the new catheter (Q-DOT Micro) safely heats the heart tissue without harming the esophagus.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat that comes and goes).
- You are scheduled for a first-time catheter ablation procedure to treat your atrial fibrillation (no prior ablation on the left side of your heart).
- You do not have any stomach or esophagus conditions that would make a capsule endoscopy unsafe.
- You are willing to sign a consent form and follow all study instructions.

This study tests if a new type of energy called pulse field ablation (a procedure that uses short bursts of electric pulses) works as well as standard ablation for restoring normal heart rhythm in patients with episodes of irregular heartbeat. It may help your heart pump more normally.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses two types of energy (pulsed field and radiofrequency) to fix the heart's electrical signals in people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib that comes and goes). It aims to be more effective and safer than standard ablation alone.
This study compares two ways to keep you comfortable during a minimally invasive procedure to treat irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation): lighter sedation where you're drowsy but responsive, versus deeper anesthesia where you're fully asleep. The goal is to see which approach is safer and works better for a newer ablation technique called pulsed-field ablation.
This trial tests three different ways of delivering radiofrequency energy using a specific catheter (QDOT) during a first-time procedure to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of irregular heartbeat. It aims to find which method works best for patients with recent or short-lasting AF episodes.
This study tests a very high-power energy method to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and checks how it affects the esophagus (the tube connecting your mouth to your stomach). The goal is to see if this faster approach is safe and effective.
This study uses a special ECG to better tell apart different types of fast heart rhythms in people scheduled for a procedure called ablation. The goal is to improve diagnosis and treatment for conditions like atrial fibrillation and other supraventricular tachycardias.
