Modified left atrial maze procedure for atrial fibrillation

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 study tests a new way to fix irregular heartbeats (atrial fibrillation) that have lasted over a year. It uses a special energy to create a maze-like pattern in the heart to reduce symptoms and improve your heart's rhythm.

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 way to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) during your first catheter ablation procedure. The goal is to see if this approach offers better results than the usual care.
