About this study
Official title: Multi-center, Randomized, Controlled, Prospective Trial to Compare the Feasibility, Safety, and Efficacy of Zero-fluoroscopic Ablation Versus Conventional Fluoroscopic Ablation for the Treatment of Ventricular Arrhythmias.
This study is intended to compare the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a zero-fluoroscopy approach using Ensite NavX as the only imaging modality with conventional fluoroscopic approach for the catheter ablation of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias; conventional fluoroscopic approach use fluoroscopy plus Ensite NavX or plus Carto as the imaging modality.
Read the detailed description
Catheter ablation is a well-established treatment to treat patients with a wide range of heart rhythm disturbances. Fluoroscopy is a imaging modality routinely used for the ablation of arrhythmias.Due to the rising concern regarding the harmful effects of radiation exposure to both the patients and operation staffs; three-dimensional mapping systems, including CARTO and Ensite NavX, have been developed and implemented in electrophysiological procedure for the navigation of catheters inside the heart chambers. Ensite NavX system can be used for zero-fluoroscopy approach for catheter ablation of arrhythmias. This study is intended to compare the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a zero-fluoroscopy approach using Ensite NavX as the only imaging modality with conventional fluoroscopic approach for the catheter ablation of idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias; conventional fluoroscopic approach use fluoroscopy plus Ensite NavX or plus Carto as the imaging modality.

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
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.

Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Yan Wang, PhD (86-27-83663280, newswangyan@tjh.tjmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Procedural success rates (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03041519, which also lists 3 linked publications.
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 2 Feb 2017.
