NCT05152784

Brief Summary

This non-randomised, prospective trial will examine the feasibility and efficacy of VT ablation guided by activation mapping using the Octaray and Optrell catheters. Annotation algorithms within the CARTO3 electro-anatomical mapping system will be integrated with 3D scar segmentation data from cardiac MRI (ADAS-VT), and extrastimulus voltage mapping will identify sites of interest for focussed activation mapping. The investigators hypothesise that the examination of these data will identify critical target sites for ablation. Intra-procedural diagnostic performance of the Octaray and Optrell catheters will be assessed as the primary outcome, and will be compared with the standard of care. Secondary, clinical outcomes - primarily the need for ICD therapies at 12 months post ablation - will be compared with propensity-matched controls undergoing substrate-based ablation alone. Follow-up MRI scans will review the impact of ablation on the elimination of conduction channels.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Correct identification of VT exit site

    The site of VT origin suggested by activation mapping will be confirmed by either: i) Termination with ablation at this site ii) Entrainment of the tachycardia at this site (concealed fusion with PPI-TCL \<30ms and equivalent stimulus-QRS interval to EGM-QRS (30-70% TCL) interval) iii) Pace-mapping (average correlation coefficient \>90%)

    Intra-procedural

  • Completeness of diastolic pathway recording

    The VT diastolic interval will be divided into temporal segments: i) First third: VT entrance ii) Middle third: VT isthmus iii) Final third: VT exit Completeness of diastolic pathway recording will be assessed according to the number of segments in which electrical activity is recorded

    Intra-procedural

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Requirement for ICD therapies at 1 year

    12 months following VT ablation

  • VT burden

    12 months following VT ablation

  • Symptoms related to arrhythmia

    12 months following VT ablation

  • Morphological changes on serial cardiac MRIs

    3 months following VT ablation
