Optrell Catheter for Heart Rhythm Problems from Papillary Muscles
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares how well a special heart mapping catheter (Optrell) works in treating irregular heartbeats that start in specific heart muscle areas called papillary muscles. If you're having frequent or bothersome extra heartbeats, this trial may help you get a procedure your doctor already recommends.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–75 and able to give informed consent
- Frequent (more than 10%) or symptom-causing extra heartbeats coming from papillary muscles (detected on EKG)
- Your doctor has already decided you need this procedure as part of your regular care
- English language proficiency (reading, writing, and speaking)
- Able to come back for follow-up visits and not currently in another heart drug or device study

This study keeps a detailed record of people with certain abnormal heart rhythm beats who are treated with a catheter ablation. It compares outcomes after a standard “unipolar” approach using radio-frequency ablation and then a further step (“bipolar” radio-frequency ablation) when appropriate.
This trial tests a new way to treat rapid heartbeats from the lower chambers (ventricles) using a special catheter that delivers short electrical pulses to stop the abnormal signals. It may help people with extra beats (PVCs) or a fast heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia) that needs treatment.
This study tests a new imaging technique to help guide heart ablation procedures for certain heart rhythm problems. It may help doctors see exactly where to treat.
This study tests a new catheter-based treatment for people with certain types of very fast or extra heartbeats that come from the lower chambers of the heart. The catheter uses a special energy to stop the abnormal beats and might help if you have had symptoms despite other treatments.
This trial studies a customized treatment plan for people who have premature ventricular beats (PVCs) and have been referred for a procedure called PVC ablation. It may help doctors choose the best approach for stopping these extra heartbeats.
This trial tests a new way to treat dangerous fast heart rhythms from the lower heart chambers, using a technique called pulsed field ablation. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for people with frequent premature beats, sustained rapid heartbeats, or life-threatening rhythm problems.
