Catheter Ablation for Leaky Mitral Valve in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if catheter ablation—a procedure to fix heart rhythm—can help people with a leaky mitral valve that is caused by atrial fibrillation (functional mitral regurgitation). If you have persistent atrial fibrillation and moderate leaky valve, you may benefit from this treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have moderate or worse mitral regurgitation (leaky mitral valve) that is not caused by a birth defect or valve damage directly.
- You have persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) and it was successfully treated with catheter ablation.
- You are able to commit to follow-up visits for at least one year.

This study tests whether a catheter ablation procedure (a way to fix abnormal heart rhythms) can help people who have both constant atrial fibrillation and severe mitral regurgitation (a leaky heart valve). It is for people whose heart valve leak is caused by the rhythm problem, not by valve damage.
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 tests a procedure that combines two treatments: fixing a leaky heart valve (mitral regurgitation) and treating an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) at the same time. It aims to improve symptoms and heart function in people with both conditions.
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 tests a catheter ablation procedure for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat that lasts more than 7 days but less than a year). It aims to see if the procedure is safe and effective for restoring a normal heart rhythm.
This trial tests whether using a special heart-mapping device during ablation (a procedure to fix irregular heartbeats) can improve outcomes for people with persistent atrial fibrillation and an enlarged left heart chamber.
