Alcohol injection plus standard procedure may calm deadly heart rhythm

NCT ID NCT05511246

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

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.
