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 ablation techniques to treat a type of irregular heartbeat that doesn't go away on its own. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer.
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 study compares two ways to perform a heart procedure called ablation to treat atrial fibrillation, a condition that causes an irregular heartbeat. The goal is to find out which approach is safer and more effective at restoring a normal heart rhythm.
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 trial tests a new type of ablation (pulsed field ablation) against standard radiofrequency ablation for people with persistent atrial fibrillation that hasn't been controlled well by medication. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer.
