Study Summary

This trial showed that a new technique for measuring lesion effectiveness during ablation procedures led to shorter procedures, less radiation exposure, and better outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults (18+) who are undergoing their first pulmonary vein isolation procedure to treat new-onset Atrial Fibrillation. It's not open to those who can't consent or don't have this specific type of heart rhythm disorder.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a technique using Unipolar Polarity Switch on the left and right sides during the procedure, aiming to improve outcomes by assessing lesion effectiveness more accurately, which may reduce time and radiation exposure.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed, procedures involving pulmonary vein isolation can include risks such as bleeding, infection at the catheter site, damage to blood vessels or heart structures, arrhythmias, or reactions from anesthesia.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are there any patients who have yet to be enrolled in this clinical trial?

"This specific trial, as detailed on clinicaltrials.gov, is not looking for new patients at this time. Although the last update was on July 14th, 2022, this could change in the future. There are 500 other trials, however, that are actively recruiting patients."

What goals does this medical study hope to reach?

"The primary goal of this one-year study is to compare the number of patients who need open heart surgery. Additionally, the six-month freedom from atrial fibrillation (AF), compare 1st pass isolation in the Unipolar polarity switch group to Carto's Ablation Index per Overland Park Regional's Left Atrial Ablation Protocol (CAI-OPR-LAAP), and validate Near Field and Far Field Discrimination with High Frequency Algorithm as a confirmation tool will be assessed as secondary outcomes."
