Freezing away heart flutters: new study tests Long-Term control of persistent AF
NCT ID NCT05005949
First seen Nov 13, 2025 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study looks at a procedure called cryoablation that uses a freezing balloon to destroy tiny areas of heart tissue causing an irregular heartbeat (persistent atrial fibrillation). About 400 adults with this condition will be followed for up to 3 years to see how well the treatment prevents the abnormal rhythm from coming back and to check for any safety issues. The goal is to control the disease, not cure it, since ongoing management may still be needed.
