Focused radiation for repeat ventricular tachycardia
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a non-invasive treatment using focused radiation to target the heart tissue causing dangerous heart rhythms. It may be an option for people who have already had a catheter ablation but still get episodes of ventricular tachycardia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a heart condition that affects the heart muscle structure.
- You have a defibrillator (ICD) or a device that helps your heart beat properly.
- You have had at least one heart ablation procedure in the past.
- You still have episodes of a rapid, regular heart rhythm called ventricular tachycardia.
- You are taking heart medications as prescribed.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests if targeted radiation therapy can help people with a serious heart rhythm problem called ventricular tachycardia (VT) that hasn't gotten better with other treatments. It aims to see if this approach can reduce dangerous heart rhythm episodes.
This trial tests whether a precise, one-time radiation treatment (usually used for cancer) can reduce episodes of a dangerous rapid heartbeat called ventricular tachycardia. It may offer an option for people who have not been helped by other treatments.
This trial tests a non-invasive radiation treatment aimed at stopping dangerous heart rhythms without surgery. It is for people who have an implantable defibrillator and have not found relief from medications or standard ablation therapy.
This trial tests a new catheter system (Sphere-9 and Affera) to treat a fast, dangerous heartbeat called ventricular tachycardia (VT) in people with heart scarring. It aims to see if this system is safe and effective at stopping VT, especially if past treatments haven't worked.
This trial studies a radiation approach (called stereotactic body radiation therapy, or SBRT) to treat ventricular tachycardia (a dangerous heart rhythm) that keeps coming back. It aims to reduce the rhythm episodes in people who have already tried catheter ablation (a procedure to cauterize rhythm sources) or cannot have it.
This trial studies a new way to treat a dangerous fast heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia) using targeted radiation to the heart. It is for people who have already tried other treatments and are still having symptoms.
