NCT03078985

Brief Summary

The purpose of this clinical study is to assess the safety and performance of the Vision-MR Ablation Catheter, the primary safety endpoint will measure the rate of serious adverse events related to the device or procedure; the primary performance endpoint will measure the acute success rate defined as the demonstration of bidirectional cavo-tricuspid isthmus block after radiofrequency application in the cavo-tricuspid isthmus; the secondary performance endpoint will measure the chronic success rate defined as the freedom of recurrence of type 1 atrial flutter at three months post-ablation procedure. The study will be a single center study conducted at the Leipzig University Hospital Heart Center in Germany. The study population will consist of adult patients requiring ablation for type I atrial flutter. This is the follow-up study to NCT02699034.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of patients with bidirectional cavo-tricuspid isthmus block after intervention

    Acute success defined as the demonstration of the established electrophysiological endpoint (e.g. bidirectional cavo-tricuspid isthmus block after radiofrequency application in the cavo-tricuspid isthmus) with the investigational device. Historically, the acute success rate for RF ablation of type I atrial flutter is 85%. Analysis will be based on a binomial proportion and expressed as a percentage. For a total of N subjects with S achieving success, the percentage, represented as P, will be calculated as P = 100\*S/N.

    9 months

  • Number of patients with periinterventional serious adverse events

    The primary safety endpoint is the rate of serious adverse events (SAEs) related to the device or procedure assessed at the 7-day follow-up. Analysis will be based on a binomial proportion and expressed as a percentage. For a total of N subjects with S experiencing an SAE related to the device or procedure, the percentage, represented as P, will be calculated as P = 100\*S/N.

    9 months

  • Number of patients with freedom from recurrence from type I atrial flutter 3 months (chronic success rate) after ablation (study procedure).

    The primary chronic performance endpoint is the chronic success rate defined as freedom from recurrence of type 1 atrial flutter at 3 months post procedure. Freedom of recurrence of type I atrial flutter is assessed using symptom survey, ECG and echocardiogram data. This will be evaluated separately for all subjects treated with the device and for all subjects that achieved acute success (defined by the primary acute performance endpoint).

    9 month

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of patients with freedom from recurrence from type I atrial flutter 6 months after ablation (study procedure).

Study Arms (1)

ablation for typical atrial flutter

EXPERIMENTAL

This group receives an MR-guide ablation for atrial flutter with the study device ( Vision-MR ablation catheter )

Procedure: ablation for typical atrial flutterDevice: catheter ablation with study device

Interventions

Typical atrial flutter is treated by catheter ablation.

ablation for typical atrial flutter

The study device is used inside the MRI environment to localize the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI). The CTI is then treated with radiofrequency energy to achieve complete isthmus block.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • First time indication for ablation for type I atrial flutter.
  • Patients willing and able (mentally and physically capable per physician's discretion) to understand the investigational nature, potential risks and benefits of the study and able to provide written informed consent to participate in the study and agree to comply with follow-up visits and evaluation
  • Patients able to receive anticoagulation therapy to achieve adequate anticoagulation

You may not qualify if:

  • Contraindication for MRI diagnostic exam
  • A cardiac ablation or cardiac surgery within 180 days prior to enrollment
  • Documented intracardiac thrombus, tumor, bleeding, clotting or other abnormality that precludes catheter introduction and placement
  • Myocardial infarction within 60 days prior to enrollment
  • Current unstable angina
  • History of cerebrovascular event (within 180 days prior to enrollment)
  • Patients with an ejection fraction less than or equal to 35% within 90 day prior to enrollment
  • Permanent leads in or through the right atrium
  • Clinically significant structural heart disease (including tricuspid valve regurgitation, tricuspid valve stenosis or other congenital heart disease) that would preclude catheter introduction and placement, as determined by the Investigator
  • Uncompensated congestive heart failure (NYHA Class III or IV)
  • Arrhythmia is secondary to electrolyte imbalance, thyroid disease, or other reversible or non-cardiovascular cause
  • Known sensitivity to heparin or warfarin
  • Active or systemic infection
  • Any other significant uncontrolled or unstable medical condition (including but not limited to hypertension and diabetes)
  • contraindication for conventional ablation procedure know allergy against radiocontrast agents renal insufficiency with glomerular filtration rate \< 30ml/min/1,73m2
  • +6 more criteria
