About this study

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia is treated with radiofrequency ablation recently. This procedure is performed by ablating slow pathway or accessory pathway using radiofrequency ablation catheter. Recently developed mirofidelity (MIFI) catheter has mini-electrodes that can record local eletrogram with higher resolution. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of MIFI catheter in the ablation of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia compared to conventional radiofrequency ablation catheter. Enrolled patients undergo conventional electrophysiologic study. Patients with sustained supraventricular tachycardia during the study are randomized to either study group or control group. Radiofrequency ablation is performed using MIFI catheter in the study group, and conventional catheter (Blazer II) in the control group. The study endpoints are recorded immediately after ablation and there is no additional follow up or management after procedure.

Being tested
Microfidelity (MIFI) catheter, Conventional ablation catheter
Medical subject headings
Tachycardia, Ventricular

What participants receive

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

  • Microfidelity (MIFI) catheterDevice

    Patients are randomized into the MIFI group and control group. Radiofrequency ablation will target slow pathway for AVNRT or accessory pathway for AVRT. Microfidelity (MIFI) catheter equipped with mini-electrodes will be used for ablation in the MIFI group.

  • Conventional ablation catheterDevice

    Patients are randomized into the MIFI group and control group. Radiofrequency ablation will target slow pathway for AVNRT or accessory pathway for AVRT. Blazer II radiofrequency ablation catheter will be used for ablation in the control group.

What is being measured

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

  1. RF time (seconds) to successful ablation

    For AVNRT, the time (seconds) from the beginning of radiofrequency ablation to the emergence of junctional rhythm For AVRT, the time (seconds) from the beginning of radiofrequency ablation to the accessory pathway block

    Measured: At the end of radiofrequency ablation procedure

  2. RF application number

    Number of radiofrequency ablation attempt to successful ablation

    Measured: At the end of radiofrequency ablation procedure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Total ablation time (seconds)

    Total time of radiofrequency energy delivery

    Measured: At the end of radiofrequency ablation procedure

  2. Presence of either acute reconnection or reinduction

    Acute accessory pathway reconnection or supraventricular tachycardia reinduction after ablation

    Measured: At the end of radiofrequency ablation procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Microfidelity (MIFI) catheter and Conventional ablation catheter in people with Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia, run by Yong Seog Oh at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 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 2 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

RF time (seconds) to successful ablation (time frame: At the end of radiofrequency ablation procedure). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04215640, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Nov 2021.
