VT Ablation Guided by Scar Tissue Only
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new approach to treating a dangerous heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia (VT) in people with scarred heart muscle. The goal is to use only the scarred area to guide the ablation procedure, which may make it safer and more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a structural heart condition (like a past heart attack or scarred heart muscle) and have had episodes of a fast, dangerous heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia (VT)
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have a blood clot inside your heart, active infection, or severe untreated coronary artery disease
- You can take blood thinners during and for at least 1 month after the procedure

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 uses special heart imaging during a catheter ablation to better map scar tissue that may be causing a dangerous fast heart rhythm (monomorphic ventricular tachycardia). It may help doctors target the problem more accurately during the procedure.
This trial tests two different ways of mapping the heart to guide treatment for a dangerous fast heart rhythm. The goal is to see which mapping method works better for people with an ICD who need a procedure called ablation to stop the rhythm.
This study checks whether repeating detailed “electrical mapping” inside the heart can better assess how well catheter ablation is working for an abnormal heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia. It may help doctors fine-tune treatment plans after your procedure, based on how your heart’s signals change over time.
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 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.
