About this study

Official title: Clinical Evaluation of Intracardiac Ultrasound With the NUVISION NAV Ultrasound Catheter

The purpose of this study is to assess the performance and safety of using the investigational catheter.

Being tested
NUVISION NAV Ultrasound Catheter
Medical subject headings
Atrial Fibrillation, Tachycardia, Ventricular, Ventricular Premature Complexes

What participants receive

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

  • NUVISION NAV Ultrasound CatheterDevice

    Participants will be scheduled to have a clinically-indicated ablation procedure using NUVISION NAV ultrasound catheter for management of atrial procedure.

Study groups in NCT05970120
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
NUVISION NAV Ultrasound CatheterExperimentalParticipants with five different subgroups (scar-related atrial tachycardia, persistent atrial fibrillation [PsAF], paroxysmal atrial fibrillation [PVF], ventricular tachycardia [VT], and premature ventricular complex [PVC]) will be treated using NUVISION NAV ultrasound catheter per investigator's standard of care and followed until 7 days post-procedure.
Receives: Device: NUVISION NAV Ultrasound Catheter

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Completion of Imaging With the NUVISION NAV Ultrasound Catheter Without Resort to Non-study Mapping Catheter

    Percentage of participants with completion of imaging with the NUVISION NAV ultrasound catheter without resort to non-study mapping catheter were reported.

    Measured: At Day 1

  2. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Within 7 Days of Index Procedure Related to the NUVISION NAV Ultrasound Catheter

    Number of participants with SAEs within 7 days of index procedure related to the NUVISION NAV ultrasound catheter were reported. An AE was any untoward medical experience (sign, symptom, illness, abnormal laboratory value, or other medical event) occurring to a participant during the course of the study whether or not related to the investigational device. SAE was any AE that results in: death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, was life-threatening experience, a congenital anomaly/birth defect and may jeopardize participant and/or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

    Measured: From day of index procedure (Day 1) up to 7 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Physician Assessment of Deployment, Maneuverability and Navigational Features With the NUVISION NAV Ultrasound Catheter During the Study Procedures

    Physician assessment of deployment, maneuverability and navigational features with the NUVISION NAV ultrasound catheter during the study procedures were reported. The physician's feedback was collected after each study procedure for each investigational catheter through a questionnaire-based survey consisting of 15 question/sub-question. Each survey question/sub-question included a response option with a Likert scale of 1 to 7 (1=poor and 7=excellent). A score of 4 on the Likert scales indicated the catheter met expectations or was comparable to other devices. Scores of greater than or equal to (>=) 4 were considered satisfaction.

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Physician Assessment of Imaging Quality Acquired With the NUVISION NAV Ultrasound Catheter During the Study Procedures

    Physician assessment of imaging quality acquired with the NUVISION NAV ultrasound catheter during the study procedures was reported. The quality of image acquired with NUVISION NAV ultrasound catheter and displayed by CARTO software was assessed through physician's feedback on 11 question/sub-questions. Each survey question/sub-question included a response option with a Likert scale of 1 to 7 (1=poor and 7=excellent). A score of 4 on the Likert scales indicated the catheter met expectations or was comparable to other devices. Scores of >=4 were considered satisfaction.

    Measured: Day 1

  3. Physicians Overall Feedback on the NUVISION NAV Ultrasound Catheter During the Study Procedures

    Physicians overall feedback on the NUVISION NAV ultrasound catheter during the study procedure was reported. The overall feedback on the NUVISION NAV ultrasound catheter was assessed through physician's feedback on 3 question/sub-questions. Each survey question/sub-question included a response option with a Likert scale of 1 to 7 (1=poor and 7=excellent). A score of 4 on the Likert scales indicated the catheter met expectations or was comparable to other devices. Scores of >=4 were considered satisfaction. TEE is transesophageal echocardiography.

    Measured: Day 1

  4. Number of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Excluding NUVISION NAV Ultrasound Catheter Related SAE Within 7 Days of Index Procedure

    Number of SAEs excluding NUVISION NAV ultrasound catheter related SAE within 7 days of index procedure was reported. AE was any untoward medical experience (sign, symptom, illness, abnormal laboratory value, or other medical event) occurring to a participant during the course of the study whether or not related to the investigational device. SAE was any AE that results in: death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, was life-threatening experience, a congenital anomaly/birth defect and may jeopardize participant and/or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

    Measured: From day of index procedure (Day 1) up to 7 days

  5. Number of Participants With Non-serious Adverse Events Within 7 Days of Index Procedure Related to the NUVISION NAV Ultrasound Catheter

    Number of participants with non-serious adverse events within 7 days of index procedure related to the NUVISION NAV ultrasound catheter were reported. AE was any untoward medical experience (sign, symptom, illness, abnormal laboratory value, or other medical event) occurring to a participant during the course of the study whether or not related to the investigational device.

    Measured: From day of index procedure (Day 1) up to 7 days
