Magnetic navigation catheter for treating rapid heart rhythms
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new catheter that uses magnetic navigation to deliver radiofrequency energy to fix abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). It may help people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation or a fast heart rate (PSVT) who haven't gotten relief from medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have either paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm problem that comes and goes) or symptomatic supraventricular tachycardia (a fast heart rate that causes symptoms).
- You have tried at least one heart rhythm medication that didn't work or caused side effects, or you are willing to have the procedure without trying medication first.
- You do not have certain heart conditions like a very enlarged left atrium (for AFib), very weak heart pumping (LVEF 40% or less), or a history of certain heart surgeries.
- You do not have an active implantable device like a pacemaker or ICD.
- You have not had a stroke within the past 6 months, or a heart attack or heart surgery within the past 3 months.
- You do not have severe heart failure symptoms (NYHA class III or IV).

This trial tests a new, domestically made catheter that can measure tissue temperature during the procedure. It is used to treat rapid heart rhythms like supraventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective for patients who need catheter ablation.
This trial tests a new robotic system that uses magnets to guide a catheter (a thin tube) inside the heart to fix abnormal heart rhythms. It is designed for people whose heart structure has been changed by birth defects or past surgeries, making standard procedures harder.
This study tests a new 3D heart mapping system that helps doctors guide a catheter to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that comes and goes). It uses pressure and star mapping to make the procedure more precise and safe.
This study tests a new magnetic system (MAGiC) to guide heart ablation procedures for people with irregular heartbeats. It aims to see if using magnets to steer catheters is safe and effective.
This study tests a new catheter-based treatment for people with certain types of very fast or extra heartbeats that come from the lower chambers of the heart. The catheter uses a special energy to stop the abnormal beats and might help if you have had symptoms despite other treatments.
This trial tests a new way to treat rapid heartbeats from the lower chambers (ventricles) using a special catheter that delivers short electrical pulses to stop the abnormal signals. It may help people with extra beats (PVCs) or a fast heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia) that needs treatment.
