NCT ID NCT06354777
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study looks at whether cooling the esophagus (the tube connecting the mouth to the stomach) during a heart procedure called ablation can help people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). About 312 adults with this condition will be followed for up to a year to see if the cooling reduces side effects like heartburn and helps keep the heart rhythm normal. The goal is to make the procedure safer and more comfortable.
