Filter by:This is an exploratory research aiming to accurately identify the site of origin of tachyarrhythmia using Magnetocardiography (MCG), which will have guiding significance for early diagnosis, the formulation of treatment plans and preoperative positioning for radiofrequency ablation.
Background: Atypical atrial flutter (AAF) is an increasingly relevant clinical problem. Despite advancements in mapping and ablation techniques, the general management of these patients remain challenging especially when mapping cannot be performed during ongoing arrhythmia. There are no data whether induction of AAF is a feasible approach in these cases. Methods: The investigators retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent catheter ablation of AAF and compared procedural results between patients with ongoing tachycardia when starting the procedure and patients with induced AAF. For this retrospective study, the investigators analyzed patients undergoing ablation of AAF between April 2018 and January 2021 that were identified from the ablation database at the West German Heart and Vascular Center, Essen. All patients were followed up in the outpatient clinic as part of the clinical standard routine or contacted by telephone to assess the occurrence of clinical recurrence of any arrhythmia. In case the documentation was not performed at the institution, relevant documents and ECGs were requested and reviewed. This single-center cohort study was conducted at the University Hospital Essen, Germany, in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and its amendments and was approved by the institutional review board of the University of Essen (number 21-10341-BO). Written informed consent was obtained from all study participants. The primary study endpoint was to evaluate the outcome of patients with induced AAF in comparison to patients with ongoing AAF when starting the procedure. Furthermore, the investigators analyzed the type of recurrence during follow-up as well as the occurrence and results of repeat ablations at the institution. The investigators also evaluated if the recurrent AAF form was the same or de-novo compared to the AAF during previous procedure.
Among patients early following ST-segment (ST) elevation myocardial infarction, transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation is associated with a reduce of the burden of premature ventricular contractions in the first 40 days post-myocardial infarction (MI). The above hypothesis will be tested with a randomized, prospective, parallel, single-blind clinical trial. The expected study duration is approximately 12 months from the time the first subject is enrolled (planned for June 2023) to the time of study's termination date (December 2024). Patient enrollment is planned to take place at two major centers in Greece. The researchers will obtain approval by the institutional review board (IRB).
Confirm clinical safety and performance of the Pamira lead to support the regulatory post market strategy in Europe and other regions and validating promotional claims by - demonstrating clinical safety - evaluating performance based on sensing and pacing assessment - collecting additional data of interest to assess other aspects such as the handling and usability
Traditional temporary pacing catheter insertion by intracavitary electrocardiogram (IC-ECG) monitoring which only monitoring tip polar, the negative one. The investigators modified the technique by monitoring both negative and positive polar which will be precisely locating catheter tip and indicating the direction of the catheter tip. Extensively used temporary pacing catheter tip has two electrodes which are about 1 cm apart. Distal electrode is negative (-) and active, proximal electrode is positive (+) and indifferent. Investigators use both distal (-) and proximal (+) electrodes which can be attached to any two of the V leads, record as V(-) and V(+). Monitoring positions of the electrodes by V(-) and V(+) could provide more information about the tip position. Comparing the QRS amplitudes between V(-) and V(+), when catheter tip enters right ventricle chamber: the case of V(-) > V(+) infers tip toward apex ventricle wall ; conversely, the case of V(-)<V(+) indicates tip directs to outflow tract. The investigators hypothesis this monitoring will help precisely placement.
The LEADR study is designed to assess the safety and efficacy of the Next Generation ICD lead. The LEADR LBBAP study is being conducted under the existing US FDA Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) for the Next Generation ICD Lead and is designed to confirm the safety and defibrillation efficacy of the Next Generation ICD Lead when placed in the LBBAP location in ICD and LOT-CRT patient population.
This study is a post-market clinical follow-up (PMCF) study to identify and evaluate residual risks associated with the use of the BIOMONITOR III and BIOMONITOR IIIm that are discovered or remain even after risk analysis, risk mitigation and successful conformity assessment. Furthermore, this study will also provide additional data as required by regulatory authorities outside of the CE-region.
Post-Market Clinical Follow-up of the new Cor Family ICDs/CRT-Ds (Acticor, Rivacor) and the new Plexa ProMRI S DX right ventricular lead to provide post-market data and supporting evidence for the clinical safety and performance of the devices.
The objective of the study is to confirm the safety and efficacy of the BIOMONITOR III system. Furthermore, the insertion procedure, the use and handling of the incision and insertion tools and the sensing quality of the BIOMONITOR III will be assessed.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of dexmedetomidine and compare this to a current technique commonly used at TGH for sedation in patients undergoing ablation procedures for atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter. The investigators hypothesise that dexmedetomidine will be at least equivalent to, or more so, in terms of effectiveness and safety, when compared to midazolam and remifentanil for sedation during ablation procedures.
