Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Device Comparison Study

Withdrawn before enrolling · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Atrial Fibrillation

In brief

Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heart rhythm which requires long term anticoagulation to prevent risk of stroke and long term poor outcomes. At the same time one have heart surgery, a small additional procedure can be done to treat atrial fibrillation. Surgeons have a choice of six different devices that he or she can use to treat your atrial fibrillation. It is not known at this point which device is best at treating you, as each device seems to have the same success rate at curing atrial fibrillation. One of the six devices will be selected randomly by card pulled out at the time of enrollment. It is therefore the purpose of this study to compare the devices to each other and to follow up after surgery to determine if any one device is best. This information will be valuable to surgeons and to patients as the treatment for atrial fibrillation develops in the future.
