Modified left atrial maze procedure for atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a modified maze procedure to treat atrial fibrillation during heart surgery. It may help patients with AFib who are already scheduled for cardiac surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a documented history of atrial fibrillation (AFib)
- You are scheduled for heart surgery
- You can understand the study information and agree to participate

This trial tests a new device used during open-heart surgery to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib) by delivering tiny, fast electrical pulses to the heart tissue. It is for people who are already having heart surgery and want to also treat their AFib at the same time.
This study looks at what happens in the heart in people with persistent atrial fibrillation when they undergo an ablation or Maze surgery. It may help doctors better understand the condition and improve future care for people needing these procedures.
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 studies different surgical techniques for treating atrial fibrillation during heart surgery. It may help people with a history of AFib who are already scheduled for open-heart surgery.
This study tests a new type of ablation procedure using a special energy called pulsed field ablation (PFA) to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (a long-lasting irregular heartbeat). The goal is to restore a normal heart rhythm by creating a pattern of scar tissue in the heart's upper chambers.
This study tests a new approach to catheter ablation for people with persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). It may be an option if you have not responded well to or could not tolerate a rhythm-control medication.
