Filter by:The EFFORTLESS ICD Registry is an observational, standard of care evaluation designed to demonstrate the early, mid and long-term clinical effectiveness the Boston Scientific S-ICD System. In addition, analysis of resource utilization and costs will be performed to document treatment costs for periods defined by Registry endpoints. Protocol 90904928 restricts enrolment to patients over 18 years of age while protocol 90904925 allows all patients to be included.
This clinical study is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the subcutaneous implantable defibrillator (S-ICD) System.
This study aims to assess whether a combined technique of substrate ablation and ablation of the clinically presenting VT at the site of early activation is superior to ablation of the clinically presenting VT alone, in enhancing long-term success of VT ablation.
Interventional study in patients with ICD. Controlled, open intervention with exercise training. Assessment of changes in physiological and psychological parameters.
The purpose of this study is to study the treatment of Atrial Fibrillation and ischemic Ventricular Tachycardia using a RF ablation catheter with contact force sensing capabilities.
The purpose of this research study is to examine the effect of cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) surgery on life threatening abnormal heart rhythms called ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation that can lead to sudden cardiac death. Subjects will be asked to participate in this research study if they have recurrent ventricular tachycardia (at least one ICD shock for ventricular tachycardia) and have undergone at least one catheter ablation procedure or have ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation that is not ablatable. The goal of this study is to determine whether cardiac sympathetic denervation can prevent these abnormal heart rhythms from occurring and therefore, prevent, ICD shocks which are not only painful, but have been shown to reduce quality of life and/or lead to depression, particularly in the period immediately after the shock.
In many aspects of every-day life, modern communication systems bring about a remarkable increase in comfort and safety by transmitting data and information in an easy and reliable manner. In order to provide these advantages also to patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, as well as to their physicians, BIOTRONIK has developed a long-distance implant telemetry to enable periodic trend and event-triggered transmissions of implant data and intracardiac electrogram over distances of several meters. The data is received by a patient device and subsequently automatically transferred to a BIOTRONIK Service Center that provides it to the physician on a password secured internet site. Hence, the physician receives diagnostic information without the patient having to visit the physician (Home Monitoring, HM). New possibilities will arise for a detailed medical and event-correlated supervision of the patient's therapy using electrically active implants.
To demonstrate that ablation with the Therapy Cool Path Duo cardiac ablation system can eliminate ischemic VT and that its use does not result in an unacceptable risk of serious adverse events.
The main objective of this study is to compare the time from randomization to the first recurrence of any ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients undergoing VT ablation (for stable VTs) and substrate ablation (for unstable VTs) after an initial episode of stable VT and patients not undergoing ablation, with both groups under the protection of an ICD.
This study will compare aggressive antiarrhythmic therapy to catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia in patients who have suffered prior myocardial infarction. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the optimal management of patients presenting with recurrent VT and receiving ICD therapy in spite of first-line antiarrhythmic drug therapy. The hypothesis is catheter ablation is superior to aggressive antiarrhythmic drug therapy for recurrent VT.
