Cooling tube could make common heart procedure safer and more effective
NCT ID NCT06354777
Summary
This study is looking at a safety device used during a procedure to treat a common irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation (AFib). The device cools the esophagus (the food pipe that runs behind the heart) to protect it from heat damage during the treatment. Researchers want to see if this cooling leads to fewer complications, less patient discomfort, and better long-term control of the heart rhythm.
