This study is testing a new treatment for people with a dangerous heart rhythm problem called ventricular tachycardia (VT). VT can cause the heart to beat too fast, leading to fainting, heart failure, or even sudden death. Some people continue to have VT even after taking medicines and undergoing standard ablation procedures. For these patients, current treatment options are very limited.

The investigational treatment uses the Thermedical Ablation System with the Durablate™ catheter. This device delivers both heat and saline (salt water) deep into the heart muscle to target the areas causing abnormal rhythms. The goal is to safely and effectively reduce or eliminate VT episodes in patients who have not responded to other therapies.

About 130 patients will be enrolled at up to 25 hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. Participants will have the procedure and then be followed for six months with regular checkups to see if the treatment reduces their VT episodes and improves their quality of life. This study will help determine if the new system should be approved for wider clinical use.

This study is enrolling participants who completed the FARAPULSE ADVENT study and are now nearing the 3 year post atrial fibrillation ablation timepoint. Atrial fibrillation is an irregular heart rhythm caused by electrical signals misfiring. An ablation is a procedure in which those signals are targeted and destroyed to stop the atrial fibrillation. This study will consist of reviewing and collecting medical records since the ablation procedure as well as optional questionnaires and wearing a heart monitor for 7 days to capture the heart's electrical activity. There are no study related follow up visits. Study related risks include loss of confidentiality and possible skin reaction to the electrodes (sticky patches placed on the chest to detect the heart's electrical activity). Individual benefit is not expected but the information learned may contribute to knowledge in this field.

This study involves collecting data and physician feedback while using the ViewFlex X System during a routine electrophysiology (EP) procedure. An electrophysiology procedure is done to correct an electrical abnormality in the heart. The ViewFlex X System is considered investigational meaning it has not been approved for commercial use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The ViewFlex System will obtain and integrate heart images with the mapping information obtained during your procedure. There is also an option to have the procedure videotaped. Study participation lasts until hospital discharge post procedure. Study related risks include risks associated with using the ViewFlex X System, loss of confidentiality and unknown risks.

This study is enrolling subjects with an abnormal heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia (VT - rapid heart beat coming from the bottom of the heart) that has come back despite treatment. This is a randomized study meaning subjects will be assigned to one of two groups and then undergo either a standard catheter ablation or a new treatment called cardiac radioablation for their VT. You will have a 50:50 chance of being assigned to either group. A standard catheter ablation is done by placing catheters (long hollow tubes) into a large blood vessel at the top of the leg, guiding them to the heart to first identify the signals causing the VT and then use radiofrequency (heat) energy to burn and stop these signals to stop the VT. The cardiac radioablation is an investigational treatment meaning it is not yet approved for routine clinical use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Cardiac radioablation is performed in the radiation oncology department and uses radiation therapy to treat the signals causing the VT. Participation in this study will last up to 5 years and inlcude about 15 visits. Study related procedures include medical record review and data collection, electrocardiogram (tracing of heart's electrical activity), echocardiogram (ultrasound test of the heart), CT scans, blood work, questionnaires, implantable cardioverter defibrillation (ICD - device implanted in your chest that monitors and treats abnormal heart rhythms), and ablation procedure per randomization. Risks include fatigue, changes in the appearance of the lungs in the cardiac radioablation group, fatigue, pain, low or high blood pressure or excessive bruising or bleeding at the catheter insertion side in the cardiac ablation arm. There are also study procedure related risks, and risks that are not known. There is potential benefit to you and to others in learning how to better treat others in the future with this condition.
