CT scan helps doctors avoid nerve damage during heart procedure
NCT ID NCT07330791
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 80 people having a heart procedure called ablation to treat irregular heartbeats. Doctors wanted to see if a CT scan could accurately show the location of a nerve near the heart that can be accidentally injured. They compared the CT images with a standard method that uses electrical stimulation to find the nerve. The goal was to make the procedure safer by better understanding the nerve's path.
