Safety and Performance Assessment of the Sphere-9™ Catheter and Affera™ Ablation System for the Treatment of Ventricular Tachycardia (Sphere-9 VT EFS)

Conditions: Ventricular Tachycardia (VT)

Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 85 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 60
Sponsor: Medtronic Cardiac Ablation Solutions

Location: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Boston Massachusetts

Summary

Sphere-9 VT EFS is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, unblinded feasibility study. Adult subjects with recurrent, sustained, scar-related monomorphic ventricular tachycardia will be enrolled and treated with the Sphere-9 Catheter and Affera Ablation System.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Any of the following: 1. Ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) patients with prior history of myocardial infarction (MI). 2. Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) patients with documented myocardial scar in a territory without coronary stenosis as evidenced by cardiac imaging. 2. At least one episode of sustained (continuous for \>30 seconds or requiring ICD intervention for termination) monomorphic ventricular tachycardia within the 6 months prior to enrollment. 3. Recurrence of sustained ventricular tachycardia despite class I or III antiarrhythmic drug therapy or ICD intervention. 4. Implanted with an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) or CRT-D for at least 3 months prior to the ablation procedure. 5. Age 18 through 85 years old. 6. Willing and able to provide informed consent. 7. Willing and able to comply with all pre-, post-, and follow-up testing requirements. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Incessant VT necessitating hemodynamic support prior to the ablation procedure. 2. Unstable polymorphic VT or ventricular fibrillation (VF). 3. VTs due to any of the following: 1. Idiopathic VT 2. Automaticity or triggered activity 3. Lamin or titin genetic mutation 4. Ventricular tachycardia secondary to electrolyte imbalance, active thyroid disease, or any other reversible or non-cardiac cause (e.g., drug induced arrhythmia). 4. NICM subjects with active inflammatory processes (e.g., myocarditis) within 120 days prior to the ablation procedure. 5. VT or VF thought to be from channelopathies. 6. More than two prior VT ablations at any time, more than one prior VT ablation within 12 months prior to the ablation procedure, or any VT ablation within 4 weeks prior to the ablation procedure. 7. Sarcoidosis. 8. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, except when due to an apical aneurysm. 9. Unstable angina. 10. Active myocardial ischemia. 11. Type 1 myocardial infarction within 2 months (60 days) prior to the ablation procedure. 12. Any percutaneous coronary intervention within 2 months (60 days) prior to the ablation procedure. 13. Any cardiac surgery within 3 months (90 days) prior to the ablation procedure. 14. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \
