Official title
Examining the Routine Use of Bladder Catheters During Atrial Fibrillation Procedures
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Inserting a Bladder catheter during catheter ablation is standard practice at most Institutions. Unfortunately, bladder catheters are associated with adverse outcomes, including catheter associated cystitis, hematuria, dysuria, and urethral damage. The investigator proposes a prospective, randomized clinical trial comparing group A that will receive a catheter during the ablation procedure and group B that will not receive the procedure. The Investigator hypothesizes the group receiving the bladder catheters will have a higher rate of complications.
