NCT ID NCT07650032

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new device that uses extreme cold to destroy small areas of heart tissue causing a dangerous fast heartbeat called ventricular tachycardia. The trial will include 100 adults with this condition who have not responded to medication. Researchers will check if the procedure is safe and effectively prevents the abnormal rhythm for at least 6 months.
