Heart procedure for atrial flutter with heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a heart procedure called pulmonary vein isolation for people who have a fast, irregular heartbeat (atrial flutter) and heart failure. The goal is to see if this procedure can improve their heart rhythm and heart function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have atrial flutter and are scheduled for a procedure to treat it.
- You have never been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (a different heart rhythm problem).
- You have heart failure symptoms (e.g., shortness of breath, fatigue) and have been on recommended heart failure medications for at least one month.
- You have been on blood thinners for at least three weeks.
- You have not had a stroke, heart attack, or heart surgery in the last three months.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study adds an extra step to the usual procedure for atrial flutter, where the doctor also isolates the pulmonary veins (the tubes bringing blood from the lungs) to lower the chance of future irregular heartbeats. It may help people with flutter who also have a higher stroke risk.
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 trial tests whether early catheter ablation (a procedure to fix irregular heartbeats) helps people who have both heart failure and atrial fibrillation. It looks at how this treatment affects your heart function and quality of life.
This trial tests if a pacemaker plus an ablation procedure can improve heart failure symptoms in people with atrial fibrillation. It is for those with moderate to severe heart failure who are already on the right medications.
This study compares two treatments for people with atrial fibrillation and heart failure: one is a procedure to fix the irregular heartbeat (AF ablation), and the other involves a different type of pacing for the heart. It aims to find which approach helps you feel better and stay out of the hospital.
This study tests whether a procedure called catheter ablation, which treats irregular heartbeats in atrial fibrillation, can improve outcomes in people who also have heart failure with mildly reduced or preserved pumping function. The procedure aims to restore a normal heart rhythm and may help reduce symptoms.
