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.
