The Z Stitch Early Bed Rest Assessment Study for Heart Procedures
This study, called ZEBRA, is looking at how quickly patients can move around after a "Z stitch" procedure. A Z stitch is a special way to close a small opening in a blood vessel after certain heart treatments, like those for atrial fibrillation or supraventricular tachycardia (fast heart rhythms). Normally, patients stay in bed for 4 hours after a Z stitch. This study wants to see if allowing you to get up after just 1 hour improves your satisfaction and is still safe. Researchers will compare patient satisfaction and look for any bleeding problems. You may be able to join if you are 18 to 99 years old and are having one of these specific heart procedures. The study aims to enroll 200 participants.
