NCT06388629

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test how how effective the Circa Scientific Rook® Epicardial Access Kit is at gaining guidewire access to the outside surface of the heart (epicardium). In addition the safety of the device will be compared to the available data for alternative methods of epicardial access. Participants will receive treatment with the subject device during the course of a typical epicardial electrophysiology procedure.
