Ventricular Tachycardia clinical trials at University of California Health

4 in progress, 2 open to eligible people

  • Cardiac Sympathetic Denervation for Prevention of Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The purpose of this research study is to examine the effect of cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) surgery on life threatening abnormal heart rhythms called ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation that can lead to sudden cardiac death. Subjects will be asked to participate in this research study if they have recurrent ventricular tachycardia (at least one ICD shock for ventricular tachycardia) and have undergone at least one catheter ablation procedure or have ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation that is not ablatable. The goal of this study is to determine whether cardiac sympathetic denervation can prevent these abnormal heart rhythms from occurring and therefore, prevent, ICD shocks which are not only painful, but have been shown to reduce quality of life and/or lead to depression, particularly in the period immediately after the shock.

  • Cryoablation for Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Adagio VT Cryoablation System in the ablation treatment of Sustained Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (SMVT)

  • Functional Substrate-Only Guided VT Ablation

    Sorry, not yet accepting patients

    Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a leading cause of death and suffering in the Veteran population. Currently, ablation procedures are performed to destroy the diseased tissue that causes this problem. This study will test to see if an experimental strategy of only targeting regions of slow conduction without the induction of VT can improve the efficacy and safety of VT ablation. Once this study is completed, the investigators will know whether this ablation strategy could help increase the efficacy, safety and efficiency of ablation therapy of fatal heart rhythms.

  • IVTCC 2.0: A Prospective Multicenter Ventricular Tachycardia Catheter Ablation Registry

    Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only

    This is a prospective multi-center international registry. The objective of this registry is to collect prospective data on patients undergoing catheter ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) and Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVC). The registry will be used for clinical monitoring, research, and quality improvement purposes.
