Which heparin method works best during heart ablation?

NCT ID NCT07361081

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at two methods of giving the blood thinner heparin during a procedure called atrial fibrillation ablation. The goal is to see which method keeps the blood's clotting time in a safe range more often. Researchers reviewed records of 300 patients who had the procedure between 2018 and 2020. The findings could help reduce complications like stroke or bleeding.
