New study aims to make heart ablation faster and safer
NCT ID NCT05805189
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at two methods for treating atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) using a special balloon catheter. The goal is to see if using a 3D mapping system (CARTO) makes the procedure faster and safer than using X-ray guidance alone. About 60 adults with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation will take part, and researchers will track how well the treatment works over one year.
