Robotic magnetic navigation for heart rhythm problems
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new robotic system that uses magnets to guide a catheter (a thin tube) inside the heart to fix abnormal heart rhythms. It is designed for people whose heart structure has been changed by birth defects or past surgeries, making standard procedures harder.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a heart rhythm problem (other than atrial fibrillation) that can be treated with catheter ablation.
- You have congenital heart disease or previous heart surgeries that make it difficult to use a standard catheter.
- You are willing to attend follow-up visits for 6 months after the procedure.
- You do not have active infections, recent strokes, or unstable heart conditions.
- You can safely undergo magnetic navigation and receive blood thinners.

This study tests a new magnetic system (MAGiC) to guide heart ablation procedures for people with irregular heartbeats. It aims to see if using magnets to steer catheters is safe and effective.
This trial is testing a new catheter that uses magnetic navigation to deliver radiofrequency energy to fix abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). It may help people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation or a fast heart rate (PSVT) who haven't gotten relief from medications.
This study tests a new catheter-based treatment for people with certain types of very fast or extra heartbeats that come from the lower chambers of the heart. The catheter uses a special energy to stop the abnormal beats and might help if you have had symptoms despite other treatments.
This trial studies a heart rhythm procedure (“ablation”) for people with ischemic cardiomyopathy who have ongoing episodes of sustained ventricular tachycardia. It aims to reduce these dangerous rhythm events, especially when standard anti-rhythm medications don’t work or can’t be used.
This study tests a new way of mapping damaged heart muscle to improve the precision of a procedure called catheter ablation, which treats dangerously fast heart rhythms. It may help people with heart disease who need this procedure.
This trial tests a new heart-mapping technique to help doctors treat a fast heart rhythm caused by heart disease. It might improve the precision of the procedure, making it safer and more effective for patients with this condition.
