Newest Catheter Ablation clinical trials
All recruiting trials (13)
-
Non-invasive mapping to help treat ventricular tachycardia due to heart disease
This study tests a non-invasive mapping tool to guide VT ablation in adults with structural heart disease and prior heart attack.
-
Catheter ablation plus LAAC vs anticoagulation in frail elderly A-fib patients
This study tests whether adding left atrial appendage closure to ablation is as good as using long-term blood thinners in frail people aged 75 and up with atrial fibrillation.
-
Substrate remodelling and targeted ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation
This project will try using detailed 3D electrical mapping of the left atrium to guide targeted ablation (pulmonary vein reisolation, ganglionic plexi, and substrate ablation) for people with persistent atrial fibrillation undergoing their first catheter ablation.
-
Music during catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation under light sedation
This test will see if playing music during catheter ablation helps adults having their first atrial fibrillation procedure feel less anxious and in less pain while using light sedation.
-
Catheter ablation for people with persistent atrial fibrillation and severe atrial functional mitral regurgitation
This will test whether adding catheter ablation to usual medicines helps adults with persistent atrial fibrillation and moderate-to-severe or severe atrial functional mitral regurgitation reduce valve leakage and improve symptoms and outcomes.
-
Evaluating endomyocardial biopsy and tailored treatments for pediatric inflammatory heart disease
This study is testing how a heart tissue sample and personalized treatments can help kids with inflammatory heart disease, especially those with myocarditis and heart rhythm issues.
-
Preventive catheter ablation for heart failure patients with ventricular arrhythmias
This study is testing if a heart procedure called catheter ablation can help heart failure patients with irregular heartbeats live longer and feel better compared to standard treatment before they get a heart transplant.
-
Comparing cardioversion and ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation
This study is testing whether a heart procedure called catheter ablation works better than a shock treatment to keep people with persistent atrial fibrillation from having their heart rhythm go out of sync again.
-
Evaluating high power short duration RF for atrial fibrillation ablation
This study is testing a new way to use radiofrequency energy for heart ablation to see if it helps people with atrial fibrillation feel better and stay healthy over the next year.
-
Personalized wide-area radiofrequency ablation plus pulmonary vein isolation versus pulsed-field pulmonary vein isolation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
This trial will test whether a patient-tailored radiofrequency ablation that targets extra atrial sources plus pulmonary vein isolation prevents recurrent atrial fibrillation better than pulsed-field pulmonary vein isolation in adults with paroxysmal AF.
-
Comparing two methods for catheter ablation of atrial flutter
This study is testing whether a new way of doing catheter ablation for atrial flutter can be safer and more effective than the standard method.
-
Evaluating endomyocardial biopsy and tailored treatments for inflammatory heart disease
This study is trying to see if a heart tissue test and personalized treatments can help people with inflammatory heart disease, especially those with myocarditis and heart rhythm issues.
-
Nationwide registry for catheter ablation treatment of cardiac arrhythmias in Japan
This study is collecting information on how well catheter ablation works for treating heart rhythm problems in Japan to see how safe and effective the procedure is.
NIH-funded research (6)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
Catheter ablation plus standard heart failure care in HFpEF with atrial fibrillation
A large multi-center study will test whether adding catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation to guideline-based heart failure treatment improves outcomes for people with HFpEF and AF.
-
Catheter Ablation vs Antiarrhythmic and Heart Failure Drug Therapy for AF with HFpEF
This project tests whether ablation or drug therapy improves outcomes for people with atrial fibrillation and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
-
Insertable heart monitor to catch early atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation
This trial tests whether a small implanted heart monitor that finds early, often-silent atrial fibrillation and prompts early treatment can help people with drug-resistant atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation.
-
Using a heart monitor to improve treatment outcomes for atrial fibrillation after catheter ablation
This study is looking at how a small heart monitor can help catch early signs of atrial fibrillation returning after treatment, so that people can get the right help sooner, and it’s for patients who have had catheter ablation for this condition.
-
Using advanced imaging techniques to improve heart procedure outcomes for atrial fibrillation
This study is looking to make catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation more effective by using advanced imaging techniques to better understand heart anatomy, which could help doctors personalize treatment plans and improve results for patients like you.
-
Evaluating a new treatment approach for atrial fibrillation using renal artery denervation.
This study is looking at whether combining a procedure called renal artery denervation with catheter ablation can help people with atrial fibrillation have better heart rhythm control and fewer episodes of AF.
