Filter by:This study aims at comparing the recurrence rates of ventricular tachycardia ablated after being mapped by 2 different techniques.
Phase I: For the Phase I portion, there will be up to 15 patients treated with SABR and followed for 6 months post-treatment to ensure no significant acute grade 3 or 4 toxicity from SABR treatment. Efficacy as defined below will also be assessed. Following this Phase I lead-in, results will be presented to the FDA for review. Only upon favorable analysis by the FDA committee, and with written explicit permission, will the Phase II randomized portion ensue. This is to act as a safety and efficacy safeguard and has is addressed more thoroughly in the Statistical Analysis Plan of this protocol. Phase II: A 1:1 randomized Phase II portion with 25 patients in each arm assigned to SABR or current practice (standard of care; Figure 3). Standard of care is defined as nationally recognized appropriate next treatment strategies for medical and catheter-ablation refractory structural cardiac VT that is assessed and judged appropriate for the patient by his/her treating cardiologist. This includes repeat catheter ablation (intravascular and/or epicardial catheter ablation), placement of left-ventricular assist device (LVAD), heart transplant, or further medical management (e.g. antiarrhythmic drug modulation/continuation). Randomization will be performed through the Clinical Trial Conduct (CTC) website.
This study will evaluate the acute effect of ultrasound-navigated left ganglion stellate block to suppress ventricular arrhythmia in patients with arrhythmic storm.
The study is designed to collect data on Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Device (CIED) information, implant procedure details, and/or patient characteristics to support development of future CIED products and procedures.
This study is designed to provide continued access to the Extravascular Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (EV ICD) System.
This study compares two arms - the current standard of care catheter ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia compared to stereotactic radiotherapy to non-invasively ablate ventricular tachycardia using a novel non-invasive ECG based body surface mapping technology. This allows investigators to identify ventricular tachycardia circuits to target for subsequent radio ablation. To summarize, the current standard of care invasive catheter ablation to the non-invasive radio ablation.
The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that an antibody-mediated autoimmune reaction will cause symptoms of autonomic dysfunction in some patients with postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS). The investigators further hypothesize that electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve will improve POTS symptoms, autoimmunity and inflammation.
Adenosine has been discovered since 1929 and used in the acute treatment of arrhythmias. It uses as a therapeutic diagnosis in patients with regular narrow QRS complex tachyarrhythmias. The conventional method of adenosine administration is the double syringe technique (DST). However, it consumes a lot of resources including two syringes, a stopcock, an extension tube, and needs 2 nurses to administer. An observational study found that a single syringe technique (adenosine diluted with normal saline up to 20 ml) was as effective as a double syringe technique. However, there is no randomized control trial for proving its efficacy.
Open label study of transcutaneous magnetic stimulation targeting the stellate ganglion in patients with ventricular tachycardia
The study aims to evaluate and compare the incidence of atrial arrhythmias (including Post-Operative Atrial Fibrillation (POAF), atrial flutter, and atrial tachycardia) stratified by baseline Utah fibrosis stages and overall fibrosis (%) of the left atrial wall area. The investigators hypothesize that patients with a higher baseline Utah fibrosis staging will experience a higher incidence of POAF. The study also aims to evaluate and compare the in-hospital mortality, length-of-stay (LOS), complication rates (strokes, pneumonia, respiratory failure etc.) of the different Utah fibrosis stage cohorts. Perform cost analysis and compare between patients with POAF and patients without POAF. The investigators hypothesize that patients experiencing POAF will have a higher mortality rate, longer LOS, greater complications, and therefore, additional hospital costs.
