New heart ablation tracker shows promise for AFib patients
NCT ID NCT02681926
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new tool called VISITAG that helps doctors track where they apply heat during a heart procedure for atrial fibrillation (AFib). The goal was to see if it makes the procedure safer and more effective at preventing irregular heartbeats for a year. 200 adults having their first AFib ablation took part. The tool aims to improve precision, but AFib may still return, so this is about managing the condition.
