Doctors test bigger freeze ball for irregular heartbeat

NCT ID NCT05881733

Summary

This study aimed to measure how much heart tissue a new, larger freezing balloon catheter could treat during a standard procedure for atrial fibrillation (AFib). Researchers used detailed 3D heart maps before and after the procedure in 20 patients with intermittent AFib to measure the area affected by the larger balloon. The goal was to gather data to see if the bigger balloon creates a more effective treatment zone.
