Freezing Treatment for Abnormal Heart Rhythms
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Diagnosed with a weakened heart (from a prior heart attack or other cause) with recurring dangerous abnormal heartbeats
- Already have an implanted defibrillator (ICD) to protect you
- At least one documented episode of the dangerous rhythm in the last 6 months
- Current anti-arrhythmia medications have either failed to control the rhythm or caused side effects you cannot tolerate
- Willing to attend baseline and follow-up visits for the full study duration

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies a procedure to fix abnormal heart rhythms (ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation) in people who have an LVAD and a defibrillator (ICD) or an alternative device. It may help prevent future dangerous rhythm episodes after LVAD treatment.
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.
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 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.
This trial tests a new treatment that uses short bursts of energy to target and destroy the heart tissue causing a fast, potentially serious heart rhythm problem (ventricular tachycardia). It's designed for people who already have an ICD and haven't gotten enough help from medications.
