New MRI-Guided catheter aims to zap heart rhythm problem

NCT ID NCT05904548

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing a new catheter that uses real-time MRI to guide treatment for a common heart rhythm problem called type I atrial flutter. About 91 adults who need this procedure will receive radiofrequency ablation to block abnormal electrical signals. The main goals are to see if the procedure is safe and effectively restores normal heart rhythm.

Active substance

RF ablation catheter

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a more precise, safer way to treat atrial flutter using real-time MRI guidance.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage, single-arm trial with only 91 participants. Risks include serious heart complications, and it may not work for everyone.
