New heart procedure could keep AFib away longer
NCT ID NCT07106970
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding extra scar lines in the heart, along with the standard vein isolation procedure, helps people with persistent atrial fibrillation stay in normal rhythm longer. About 640 adults aged 18–80 with symptomatic, drug-resistant persistent AFib will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The goal is to see if the extra ablation reduces the need for repeat procedures or medications.
