New hybrid heart procedure aims to tame stubborn AFib
NCT ID NCT05393180
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a procedure called hybrid convergent ablation for people with a long-lasting type of irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) that hasn't improved with medication. The procedure uses heat energy to destroy heart tissue causing the problem, combining a small chest incision with a catheter through a vein. The goal is to see if it can safely restore a normal heart rhythm without needing more drugs or additional procedures.
