New 3D Heart-Mapping tool could sharpen AFib ablation
NCT ID NCT06895187
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests a new device called the VERAFEYE System, which creates a 3D model of the heart to guide doctors during catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). About 100 adults who are already scheduled for ablation will have the procedure guided by this system. The main goal is to see if doctors can successfully complete the ablation using the VERAFEYE's 3D map.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- VERAFEYE System (imaging and navigation device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could make catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation more precise and effective, potentially reducing the need for repeat procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage, non-randomized study with only 100 participants. The device may not improve outcomes over standard methods, and risks of ablation (like bleeding or heart damage) still apply.
