Second ablation may zap hidden heart triggers
NCT ID NCT04111731
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 44 people with persistent atrial fibrillation who had a second heart procedure 2 months after their first ablation. Doctors checked for reconnections in the pulmonary veins and treated them again to see if this improves outcomes. The goal was to better understand how to make the initial treatment more lasting.
