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 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 a procedure that combines two treatments for people with atrial fibrillation and a leaky mitral valve that causes symptoms. The procedure aims to fix the valve leak and restore normal heart rhythm, which may improve quality of life and reduce symptoms.
This trial tests a treatment for people with atrial fibrillation who also have a leaky mitral valve. It aims to see if treating both conditions together can improve 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 compares two heart procedures—targeting one or both upper heart chambers versus only the left upper chamber—to treat people with ongoing atrial fibrillation caused by rheumatic mitral valve disease. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for restoring normal rhythm.
