Deep sedation vs. general anesthesia for heart procedure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two types of sedation for people having a catheter procedure to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). It helps find which approach works better for comfort and safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 75 years old
- Have a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat)
- Be scheduled for a catheter procedure called pulsed field ablation
- Be willing to participate and follow study rules

This trial tests a streamlined sedation approach during pulsed-field ablation, a newer technique to treat irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation). Researchers want to confirm it's safe and practical.
This study compares two types of sedation (midazolam given by a heart doctor versus propofol given by an anesthesia specialist) during a procedure to restore a normal heart rhythm in people with atrial fibrillation or flutter. It aims to find which approach is safer and more comfortable for patients.
This study tests whether listening to music during a common heart procedure for atrial fibrillation (called catheter ablation) can improve your experience while you are awake but relaxed. It may help you feel calmer and more comfortable.
This trial compares two minimally invasive heart procedures for persistent atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). The aim is to see which one is safer and more effective at restoring a normal heart rhythm.
This study compares two different treatment strategies for atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) in people who also have heart failure. One strategy uses medications only, while the other includes a procedure to restore normal heart rhythm. The goal is to find the best way to improve symptoms and outcomes.
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.
