Freezing therapy for ventricular tachycardia
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is for people who are already scheduled for a heart procedure to treat ventricular tachycardia. It will use a special freezing (cryoablation) system to see how well it works in everyday practice.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a heart procedure called catheter ablation to treat ventricular tachycardia (a fast heartbeat from the lower chambers of the heart). This study uses a special system that freezes the tissue causing the abnormal rhythm.
- You are willing to follow the study rules and sign a consent form.
- You have or will be getting an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) — a small device placed in your chest that helps control dangerous heart rhythms — before you leave the hospital.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two catheter-based procedures to treat ventricular tachycardia (VT), a fast, dangerous heart rhythm. It looks to see which approach works better at reducing repeat VT events in people with weakened heart pumping.
This study tests a new device called the DuoVT PFA System to treat ventricular tachycardia, a fast heart rhythm that can be dangerous. It aims to help people who have this condition along with heart disease from a past heart attack, and who have not been helped by medications.
This trial is testing a new approach to treating a fast, dangerous heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia) that comes from scar tissue in people with ischemic cardiomyopathy. The goal is to use a special mapping technique to guide the ablation (a procedure that destroys the tiny area causing the problem) to stop the arrhythmia.
This trial tests a new catheter-based procedure to treat life-threatening irregular heartbeats (ventricular tachycardia) that keep coming back despite medication. If you've had a heart attack and your implanted defibrillator hasn't fully controlled these arrhythmias, this procedure might help prevent future episodes.
This study tests a new way to find the exact spot in the heart that causes rapid heartbeats, so doctors can treat it more precisely with a procedure called catheter ablation.
This trial tests a freezing catheter procedure to treat dangerous, recurring abnormal heart rhythms (ventricular tachycardia) in patients whose hearts are weakened and whose current medications haven't worked. The procedure aims to scar the tissue causing the arrhythmia so your heart beats normally again.
