Efficacy and Safety of Epicardial VT Ablation Using Contact Force Irrigated Tip Catheter - Pilot Study

NCT02072707 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2020-04-21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators hypothesized that combined endocardial and epicardial VT ablation using contact sensor irrigated catheter is safe and achieves a lower recurrence rate than endocardial only ablation in ischemic and non-ischemic patients, for this the investigators will randomize 20 patients in two groups, one with endocardial only ablation and other with combined endocardial and epicardial ablation.
