Half-normal Saline in Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

Half-normal Saline vs Normal Saline for Irrigation of Open-irrigated Radiofrequency Catheters in Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 99 (actual)

• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 75 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The study evaluates the use of half-normal saline as an irrigant for open-irrigated catheters during atrial fibrillation ablation. By increasing the efficacy of radiofrequency energy-mediated lesion formation, half-normal saline has the potential to reduce procedural times and improved acute and long-term outcomes.
