Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation after mitral valve repair
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have atrial fibrillation, which is an irregular heartbeat, confirmed by an ECG.
- You must have had a mitral valve repair procedure (called TEER) within the last 6 months for a leaky mitral valve.
- Your mitral valve repair must have worked well, with only mild or no remaining leakage.
- You must not have had a prior ablation for atrial fibrillation.
- You must not have had a recent heart attack, stroke, or heart surgery within the last 2 months.
- You must be at least 18 years old and able to give informed consent.

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 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 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 a new combination treatment approach for people with long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat that lasts for years). It aims to see if this approach can help improve symptoms and restore a more normal heart rhythm.
This study compares two types of ablation (a procedure that uses energy to fix irregular heartbeats) for people with persistent atrial fibrillation. It tests whether adding extra treatment to the back of the heart's left upper chamber helps improve outcomes compared to standard treatment alone.
This study looks at how a new type of heart procedure, called pulsed field ablation, affects the heart's structure in people with persistent atrial fibrillation. It may help doctors understand if this treatment improves heart function over time.
