About this study

Official title: Usefulness of Unipolar and Bipolar Electrograms in Predicting Successful Ablation Site During Idiopathic Outflow Tract Ventricular Arrhythmia Ablation

Investigate the value of unipolar and bipolar electrograms (EGM) for predicting the successful ablation site for idiopathic outflow tract ventricular arrhythmia (OTVA).

Read the detailed description

The proposed study aims to evaluate the predictive value of using reversed polarity in adjacent bipolar EGMs (bi-RP method) and unipolar EGM with QS morphology (uni-QS method) for identifying successful ablation site, and evaluate the feasibility of enhancing uni-QS method's performance by using its morphology characteristics such as descending slope and symmetry.

Being tested
Radio-frequency Ablation

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Radio-frequency AblationProcedure or surgery

    A procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to destroy a small area of heart tissue that is causing rapid and irregular heartbeats.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percent of Ablation Targets With Termination of the Clinical Ventricular Arrhythmia After RF Energy Delivery

    Measured: Intraoperative, an average of 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ventricular Outflow Tract Tachycardia, run by Abbott Medical Devices.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Jul 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percent of Ablation Targets With Termination of the Clinical Ventricular Arrhythmia After RF Energy Delivery (time frame: Intraoperative, an average of 2 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Aug 2019.
