New heart catheter shows promise for stopping AFib episodes
NCT ID NCT06272981
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a special catheter and generator system to treat people with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib), a condition where the heart beats irregularly. The goal was to safely isolate the veins that trigger AFib and restore normal rhythm. 135 participants were treated, and the study measured safety and how well the procedure prevented AFib episodes for up to a year.
