Ablation

This study tests a new device that uses electrical pulses to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) while patients undergo other heart surgery. About 135 adults aged 18-85 with a history of AFib will participate. The goal is to see if the device safely restores normal…

This study is testing a new device that first freezes and then heats breast tumors to destroy them. It is for patients who cannot have surgery due to health reasons or who choose not to. The goal is to see if this approach can control the cancer and prevent it from coming back, w…

This study tests a new device that uses electrical pulses to shrink benign (non-cancerous) thyroid nodules. About 100 adults with symptomatic nodules will receive the treatment and be followed to see if the nodule shrinks and symptoms improve. The goal is to offer a less invasive…

This study tests a new minimally invasive treatment that freezes and then heats breast tumors, comparing it to standard breast-conserving surgery in 264 women with early-stage, hormone-positive breast cancer. The goal is to see if the ablation method can control the cancer just a…

This trial tests two ways to treat ventricular tachycardia (a fast, dangerous heart rhythm) in people who have had a heart attack and have an implanted defibrillator. One method uses standard ablation inside the heart; the other also ablates outside the heart. The study will trac…

Researchers at Mayo Clinic are testing whether an augmented reality system called LUMENA can help doctors place needles during CT-guided biopsies and ablations of the kidney, liver, lymph nodes, abdominal masses, and lungs. The study enrolls up to 10 adults referred for these pro…

This study tests a new device called Peritorq that helps doctors twist and control catheters during heart procedures in children. Researchers will check if the device works safely and reliably after the main heart procedure is finished. The study involves 25 children and teens (u…
