Comparing two anesthetics for atrial fibrillation ablation
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anesthesia (sevoflurane gas and propofol injection) used during a procedure to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). The goal is to see which one works better and is safer for patients undergoing this heart procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have atrial fibrillation and are scheduled for a catheter ablation (a procedure to fix your heart rhythm)
- You are between 18 and 64 years old
- If you are 65 to 90 years old, you must score at least 24 on a memory test (Mini-Mental State Examination)
- You do not have allergies to propofol or sevoflurane
- Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is at least 35%
- You have not had a catheter ablation before

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two ways to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that lasts for months or years). One method uses pulsed field energy and the other uses radiofrequency heat to fix the heart's electrical signals. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective for patients having their first ablation procedure.
This study compares two ways to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that lasts for a long time). One method uses a catheter to treat the heart from the inside, and the other combines that with a small procedure on the outside of the heart. The goal is to see which approach works better for people whose symptoms haven't improved with medication.
This study compares two different catheters used in ablation procedures to treat persistent atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat that lasts for weeks or months. The goal is to find out which catheter is more effective at restoring normal rhythm, and you will receive a small monitor under your skin to track your heart for a year.
This study compares two commonly used anesthesia medications (propofol and sevoflurane) in patients having a procedure to treat irregular heartbeats. Researchers want to see which drug works better and is safer for keeping you asleep during the procedure.
This trial compares two ways of keeping you comfortable during a pulsed-field ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation: conscious sedation (you're awake but relaxed) versus general anesthesia (you're fully asleep). The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective for patients like you.
This study compares two ways to keep patients comfortable during a procedure called pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation: conscious sedation (you're awake but relaxed) versus general anesthesia (you're fully asleep). The goal is to find which method works better and is safer for patients.
