NCT ID NCT07459387
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is a registry that will collect information on how a new balloon-in-basket device (VOLT PFA) is used in real-world hospitals to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib). Researchers will track procedure details, safety, and how well it stops abnormal heart rhythms. About 1,000 adults with symptomatic AFib who are already scheduled for this procedure will be included.
