Going home same day vs staying overnight after afib ablation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares whether it is safe to go home a few hours after a heart procedure for atrial fibrillation (afib) versus staying in the hospital overnight. It will help doctors understand which approach is better for your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a planned catheter ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (afib).
- The doctor will use 1 or 2 small tubes (catheters) placed in a vein in your groin.
- You do not have an active infection or skin inflammation near your groin.
- Your platelet count is above 50,000 cells per cubic millimeter.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 45.

This study compares different ways of doing a procedure called catheter ablation to treat a type of atrial fibrillation that lasts longer than 7 days. They want to see if adding an extra step to the standard treatment helps more than just doing the standard treatment alone. If you join, you will be randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups.
This trial studies different surgical techniques for treating atrial fibrillation during heart surgery. It may help people with a history of AFib who are already scheduled for open-heart surgery.
This trial looks at whether a special heart rhythm treatment called “ablation” works well when done during certain heart operations. It may help reduce atrial fibrillation (AF) symptoms or future abnormal rhythm episodes for people who are already having surgery.
This study compares two ways to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that lasts for a long time). One method uses a catheter to treat the heart from the inside, and the other combines that with a small procedure on the outside of the heart. The goal is to see which approach works better for people whose symptoms haven't improved with medication.
This study follows adults who have had a procedure to treat an irregular heartbeat, to understand who is more likely to have it return. It may help doctors predict risk and plan follow-up after the procedure.
This study tests whether doing a common AFib procedure (radiofrequency ablation) is safe and effective at the same time as closing off the left atrial appendage with the WATCHMAN FLX device. It's for people with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who are already candidates for both treatments.
