Cryoablation for atrial fibrillation during heart valve surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a freezing treatment (cryoablation) to fix abnormal heart rhythms during surgery for heart valve problems. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and effective, possibly reducing the need for future heart rhythm issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for heart surgery for a valve problem (like mitral, tricuspid, or aortic valve disease).
- You have atrial fibrillation and agree to receive freezing therapy during that surgery.
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You sign a consent form to participate.
- You do not have other serious heart conditions or recent heart problems (like heart attack or stroke within 3 months).

This study tests whether a procedure called catheter ablation, which uses heat or cold to fix irregular heartbeats, is safe and effective for people who have atrial fibrillation and have recently had a mitral valve repair. If you qualify, it might help restore a normal heart rhythm and improve your symptoms.
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 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 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.
This study compares two heart procedures to treat atrial fibrillation in people who also have valve disease. One is a standard approach and the other adds a bit more treatment to try to prevent the arrhythmia from coming back.
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.
