Imaging Integration Into Electroanatomic Mapping for Catheter Ablation Procedures of Ventricular Arrhythmias
Rochester, MN
The aim of the present study is to assess the use of high-resolution imaging data from CT and or MRI processed in 3D meshes with the use of the MUSIC software (inHEART, Bordeuax, France) and integrated within the EP lab environment to assist catheter ablation procedures. The MUSIC software is a proprietary software developed by cardiac electrophysiology and radiology researchers at the University of Bordeuax, France, that allows high-resolution recostruction of CT and MRI cardiac imaging for integration into electroanatomic maps in ablation procedures2,3.

Ventricular Arrhythmia Increases Sympathetic Activity Determined By A Skin Nerve Recording
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to utilize neuECG, a new method to directly and non-invasively record skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA) and electrocardiogram (ECG), to non-invasively assess the effects radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) on SKNA in patients at high risk for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (VA).

A Study of the FLExAbility Sensor Enabled Substrate Targeted Ablation for the Reduction of VT Study
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of ventricular ablation therapy using the FlexAbility Sensor Enabled Ablation Catheter in patients with drug-refractory monomorphic ventricular tachycardia in whom ventricular tachycardia recurs despite antiarrhythmic drug therapy or when antiarrhythmic drugs are not tolerated or desired.

Substrate Targeted Ablation Using the FlexAbility™ Ablation Catheter System for the Reduction of Ventricular Tachycardia
No Locations
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that scar-based ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation using the FlexAbility™ ablation catheter system results in a superior clinical outcome compared to routine drug therapy in subjects with documented Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia [MMVT] (both ischemic and non-ischemic) while maintaining an acceptable safety profile.

A Study of Silent Cerebral Lesions in Patients Undergoing Left Heart Ablation for Ventricular Arrhythmia and Atrial Fibrillation
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to learn about the effect of atrial fibrillation on memory and thinking. This study helps us to determine how often memory problems occur in patients with atrial fibrillation and identify factors that influence changes in memory and thinking.

A Study to Collect Electrical Signals From the Heart Using a Special Lead
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to collect electrogram data from an investigational lead placed in an extravascular space, for the development of a future Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) system.

Registration of Coronary Arteries through Electroanatomical Mapping System with CT Angiography
Rochester, MN
This study aims to perform a prospective analysis of patients undergoing fibrillation ablations and compare the validity of the electroanatomical registration with superimposed angiography. In addition, this study aims to compare and understand the relationship between the cardiac vessels.

Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement and Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia in Tetralogy of Fallot
Jacksonville, FL; Rochester, MN
The aim of this study is to determine the outcomes of catheter ablation before transcatheter PVR among patients with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF, a specific type of congenital heart defect). It is hypothesized that a combination of successful catheter ablation and transcatheter PVR placement will result in a reduction in a conventional risk score calculation (and consequently, fewer patients meeting criteria for primary prevention ICD placement) owing to a combination of VT circuit elimination and favorable RV remodeling.

A Study of Subcutaneous ICD Therapy Combined With VT Ablation for the Secondary Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a management approach that incorporates VT-ablation and S-ICD implantation in secondary prevention patients. This is a single arm prospective study with 30 patients eligible for implantation of an ICD for the secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death.

Novel Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Image-Guided Radioablation for Ventricular Tachycardia
Jacksonville, FL
The purpose of this study is to determine if nonInvasive cardiac radioablation (NICRA) can provide selective access to deeper scarred myocardial tissue for ablation.
