Cryoablation for atrial fibrillation during heart valve surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a freezing tool (cryoablation) that doctors use during heart valve surgery to treat atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat. It aims to safely restore a normal rhythm while you're already having valve repair or replacement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a heart valve problem (like mitral, tricuspid, or aortic valve disease) that needs surgery.
- You have atrial fibrillation and agree to have cryoablation during the surgery.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have not had heart surgery before.
- You do not have a blood clot in your heart, active infection, cancer, or severe organ failure.

This study tests whether catheter ablation (a procedure to correct irregular heartbeats) helps people with atrial fibrillation who have already had a successful MitraClip repair for a leaky mitral valve. It aims to see if the ablation improves heart rhythm and quality of life.
This trial tests two different ablation techniques to treat a type of irregular heartbeat that doesn't go away on its own. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer.
This study tests a new balloon catheter that uses pulsed electric fields to isolate the veins that carry blood from your lungs to your heart. It may be a treatment option for people with atrial fibrillation who are scheduled for an ablation procedure.
This study is for people with atrial fibrillation who are planning to have a catheter ablation procedure. It will look at how well the heart works after the procedure and how to prevent future events.
This trial compares two procedures that fix abnormal heart rhythms in people with atrial fibrillation related to heart valve disease. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer, especially when used with a specific added heart wiring step.
This trial tests a new tool called CoolCryo that freezes heart tissue to treat atrial fibrillation while you have mitral valve surgery. If you are already having this surgery and also have AF, this device could correct both problems at once.
