Active clinical trials for "Atrial Fibrillation"

The study is a single center, open-label, single arm, prospective pre-market study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of the VytronUS Ablation System (VAS) for the treatment of atrial fibrillation in patients with drug refractory, recurrent, symptomatic, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

This clinical investigation is intended to demonstrate the acute safety and effectiveness of ablation with the TactiCath™ Contact Force Ablation Catheter, Sensor Enabled™ (TactiCath SE) for the treatment of drug refractory recurrent symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). This clinical investigation will be conducted under an investigational device exemption (IDE) and is intended to support market approval of the TactiCath SE ablation catheter in the United States. One hundred fifty six (156) subjects will be enrolled at up to 35 investigational sites in the US, Europe, and Australia. This clinical investigation is sponsored by Abbott.

The purpose of the study is to investigate whether or not there are the differences in acute procedure and long-term clinical outcome of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) using the 3D map constructed by the integration of CT(or MRI) with the fast anatomical mapping (FAM) versus using the 3D map constructed by FAM only.

The aim is to evaluate if internet- delivered cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), based on exposure principles and behavioral activation, improves QoL and symptom burden in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) compared to treatment as usual. The study will include 120 patients with symptomatic AF despite optimal medical treatment in accordance with current guidelines.

Ivabradine may be useful as a rate controlling agent in atrial fibrillation without negative effects on hemodynamics and inotropy. The objective in this proof of concept study is to investigate the hypothesis that ivabradine will slow the ventricular response in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation and previously-implanted pacemakers.

The study is a prospective randomized comparison of two methods of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation: Radiofrequency ablation which is the standard of care will be compared to Cryoballoon ablation to perform pulmonary vein isolation. Primary endpoint for the randomized comparison is the number of pulmonary veins that remain isolated on follow up investigation. All patients will receive an implantable loop recorder to monitor clinical response and identify patients who benefit the most from durable pulmonary vein isolation. All patients will undergo a follow-up invasive assessment of pulmonary vein isolation, and veins with reconnection will be re-isolated to determine if this strategy alters clinical long-term outcome of ablation.

This is a randomized controlled trial examining whether Baylis's Versacross RF wire versus the conventional Baylis RF needle is better at puncturing through a thin wall in the heart (called "transseptal puncture") as measured by time to successful transseptal puncture, during cardiac ablation procedures.

The aim of this study is to evaluate if internet- delivered cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), based on exposure principles and behavioral activation, improves QoL and symptom burden in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF), controlling for expectancy of improvement and attention from a caregiver, using an active control group (stress management). The study will include 260 patients with symptomatic AF despite optimal medical treatment in accordance with current guidelines.

The primary purpose of this registry is to obtain real-world clinical experience for the latest and future ablation technologies when used in conjunction with the Carto system in the treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) in Asian countries. The ablation technologies include THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH® SF (STSF) catheter with Ablation Index (AI) /Visitag SURPOINT, QDOT catheter, and HELIOSTAR catheter. Additional new ablation and/or mapping technologies may be included in future when they become available in local markets.

The NEwTON AF study is a multi-center, global, prospective, single arm study to establish the safety and effectiveness of the IntellaNav StablePoint Catheter and Force-Sensing System in subjects with symptomatic, drug refractory, recurrent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
