NCT ID NCT07092774

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study looks at how safe and effective a specific catheter (Thermocool SmartTouch SF) is for treating paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) in real-world conditions. About 344 adults having their first ablation procedure will be followed to see if the treatment prevents the return of abnormal heart rhythms and to track any side effects. The goal is to gather practical evidence on this approach as an initial therapy.
