Summary
This study looks at whether re-sterilized catheters are as safe and effective as new ones for a common heart procedure called pulmonary vein isolation in people with atrial fibrillation. About 200 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either a new or a reprocessed catheter during their procedure. The goal is to see if using reprocessed catheters can lower medical costs and reduce waste without affecting patient outcomes.
