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.

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.
