Hemodynamics Measurement in Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Irrigated ablation catheter and Balloon tipped PA catheter for Cardiac Arrhythmia. Completed, enrolled 11 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
This study will occur in patients undergoing routine cardiac ablation of his/her arrhythmia with planned use of an irrigated ablation catheter. The main objective of this study is to take intracardiac pressure measurements and pressure waveforms with both a "gold standard" balloon tipped pulmonary artery catheter placed for this study and an irrigated ablation catheter placed as standard of care for the procedure.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
After completion of ablation, the ablation catheter will be serially positioned in the cardiac chambers (either the left or right side of the heart). The stop cock will be turned to the pressure transducer and waveforms will be stored corresponding to each chamber.
After removal of the irrigated ablation catheter, a 5F balloon tipped PA catheter which will be positioned under fluoroscopic guidance in each previously evaluated chamber and the chambers will be measured again.
