Comparing Two Mapping Catheters for Heart Rhythm Ablation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of specialized catheters used during heart rhythm ablation procedures to help doctors confirm they've created the right burn patterns. If you're having ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation or flutter with complex burn lines planned, this trial may help improve how your procedure is done.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have persistent atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter that has been documented by your doctor
- You are scheduled for a first-time or repeat catheter ablation procedure with planned linear burn lines (not just the standard PVI procedure)
- You can provide written informed consent and participate in the study
- You do not have a mechanical mitral valve in your heart
- You do not have a blood clot in your heart and can safely take blood thinners

This trial tests two different catheters that use pulsed field energy to treat atrial fibrillation (a heart rhythm problem). It aims to find which one works better for people who need blood thinners but have a high risk of bleeding.
This study compares two techniques for treating persistent atrial fibrillation: one uses standard anatomy-based ablation, and the other uses a special mapping system to guide the procedure. It aims to find which method works better for people who have not had prior ablation.
This trial compares two types of special catheters (thin tubes) used during a procedure called ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). It aims to see which catheter works better during the procedure, and may help improve future treatments for people with heart rhythm problems.
This study compares two procedures to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that lasts more than a week). It looks at whether a newer method (pulsed-field ablation) works better than the standard method (radiofrequency ablation), both combined with a chemical injection to improve treatment success.
This trial compares two ways of performing a heart procedure called ablation to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for patients.
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.
