Alcohol injection plus standard procedure may calm deadly heart rhythm
NCT ID NCT05511246
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether adding a vein-injected alcohol treatment to the usual heart ablation procedure can better control dangerous heart rhythms in people with prior heart attacks. About 156 adults with an implanted defibrillator and recent episodes of rapid heartbeat will be randomly assigned to standard ablation alone or ablation plus the alcohol injection. The goal is to see if the combination reduces repeat episodes, hospital stays, and serious complications.
