New study monitors belly pressure during heart procedure to improve safety
NCT ID NCT06876896
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how belly pressure changes during a heart procedure called pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation. Researchers will use a special catheter to measure pressure in the abdomen while patients are under different types of anesthesia. The goal is to see if the type of sedation affects belly pressure, which could help prevent complications. About 50 adults having standard treatment for AFib or atrial flutter will take part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Accuryn Foley catheter device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better manage patient safety during heart ablation procedures by understanding how anesthesia affects abdominal pressure.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It does not test a new treatment, only monitors a safety measure.
