Filter by:Radiofrequency ablation of ventricular tachycardias (VTs) is the gold standard treatment of refractory VTs in patients with ischaemic heart disease. In this setting, ablation is usually performed endocardially. However, even after a procedural success there is a high risk of recurrence, particularly due to the inability to create transmural lesions. Indeed, only the endocardium of the LV has been ablated, while a significant part of the arrhythmia substrate may be located on the other side of the myocardial thickness, on the epicardial side of the LV. First described in 1996, epicardial ablation, performed via a percutaneous subxyphoid approach, has since undergone considerable development. Electrophysiologists often use a double endo- and epicardial approach as first line therapy for the ablation of VTs complicating myocarditis or arrhythmogenic dysplasia of the right ventricle, where the substrate is most often epicardial. For VT in ischaemic heart disease, electrophysiologists perform endocardial ablation, and often perform epicardial ablation only after several endocardial failures. Several observational studies suggest that a combined endo- and epicardial approach as first line therapy is associated with a reduced risk of VT recurrence. Since recurrent VT in patients with ischaemic heart disease as a prognostic impact in terms of morbidity and mortality, it appears essential to optimise rhythm management by ablation, by offering a combined approach from the as first approach to reduce the risk of recurrences. The aim of our prospective, multicentre, controlled, randomized study is therefore to compare the rate of VT recurrence after ablation performed as first line therapy either by endocardial approach alone or by combined endo-epicardial approach.
Demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Ablacathâ„¢ Mapping Catheter and Ablamap® System in patients with all types of atrial fibrillation (AF) including paroxysmal or persistent or long-standing persistent, undergoing and De Novo or Redo procedures. Phenotype patients and demonstrate the prognostication power of Electrographic Flow (EGF®) maps among all subjects using 12-month follow-up outcomes following EGF-guided mapping and ablation.
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate that the OPTIMIZER® Integra CCM-D System (the "CCM-D System") can safely and effective convert induced ventricular fibrillation (VF) and spontaneous ventricular tachycardia and/or ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) episodes in subjects with Stage C or D heart failure who remain symptomatic despite being on guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), are not indicated for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and have heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≤40%). Eligible subjects will be implanted with the CCM-D System. A subset of subjects will be induced into ventricular fibrillation "on the table" in the implant procedure room. During the follow-up period, inappropriate shock rate and device-related complications will be evaluated. The follow-up period is expected to last at least two years.
SLICE-LAMRT is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind trial that will be carried out in patients older than 18 years with atypical flutter suspected to be of left atrial origin. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the safety and superiority of a substrate-guided ablation procedure vs the conventional strategy guided by electrical activity. The composite primary endpoint is time to first episode of sustained atrial arrhythmia in the absence of pharmacological antiarrhythmic treatment or new ablation.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the factors which determine how well ventricular tachycardia (VT) is tolerated. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What impact does coronary artery disease have on the ability for a patient to tolerate VT? 2. Does treatment of coronary artery disease with stents improve the tolerability of VT? Participants who are undergoing a clinically indicated coronary angiogram or coronary angioplasty procedure will have measurements of blood pressure, coronary pressure and coronary flow made during pacing at a range of heart rates.
This post-approval study (PAS) is designed to provide continued clinical evidence to confirm the long-term safety and effectiveness of the FlexAbilityTM Ablation Catheter, Sensor EnabledTM (FlexAbility SE) for the treatment of ventricular tachycardia in a post-market environment. This is a prospective, single arm, open-label, multi-center, observational study.
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a life-threatening cardiac rhythm disturbance which leads to sudden cardiac death (SCD), ventricular fibrillation, electrical storm, hemodynamic collapse, and syncope. VT patients with cardiomyopathy (diseased/scarred cardiac muscle) have the highest risk of SCD (<1-4%) and recurrent VTs (15-35%). Although an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) is the most effective treatment option to prevent SCD, it does not eliminate it. Without VT prevention, recurrent VT and ICD shocks may increase the risk of heart failure and death. The primary objective is to determine the optimal treatment strategy to maximize event-free survival among cardiomyopathy patients with ventricular tachycardia (VT) by the creation of a prospective, multicenter, longitudinal cohort. Also, the investigators will evaluate the epidemiology of VT, adherence to guidelines, safety, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of current treatment options for secondary prevention of VT in the real-world Canadian VT population.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of orally administered nirmatrelvir/ritonavir compared with placebo/ritonavir to improve quality of life in non-hospitalized adult participants suffering from post-acute COVID-19 syndrome.
RADIATE-VT is a pivotal, multicenter, randomized trial comparing safety and efficacy between cardiac radioablation (CRA) using the Varian CRA System and repeat catheter ablation (CA), for patients with high-risk refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) who have experienced VT recurrence after CA and are candidates for additional CA.
NODE-202 is a Phase 2, multicenter, multinational, single dose, open-label, 2-part, sequential design study in pediatric patients with an established diagnosis of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) presenting with a symptomatic episode of PSVT. In Part 1, at least 30 patients aged 12 to <18 years will be enrolled and treated with etripamil nasal spray (NS). Efficacy, safety, tolerability and PK (for at least 12 patients) will be assessed after administration of 70 mg etripamil NS (Part 1A). At least 18 subsequent patients will be enrolled and treated with the etripamil NS with the dose determined by the Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis and will undergo efficacy and safety/tolerability assessments (Part 1B). In Part 2, at least 30 patients aged 6 to <12 years will be enrolled and treated with etripamil NS at a dose selected based on appropriate body size-based modeling, as well as efficacy, safety/tolerability, and PK data collected in Part 1. Efficacy, safety, tolerability and PK (for at least 12 patients) will be assessed after administration of etripamil NS (Part 2A). At least 18 subsequent patients will be enrolled and treated with the etripamil NS with the dose determined by the PK analysis and will undergo efficacy and safety/tolerability assessments (Part 2B). The study will include the following visits: A Screening Visit, A Treatment Visit, , and A Follow-Up/End of Study Visit.
