Catheter Ablation of Haemodynamically Not-tolerated Electrical Storm in Structural Heart Disease
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Catheter ablation: Emergency catheter ablation is defined as ablation performed within 48 hours of hospital admission
Stepped-care strategies: Patients randomized to the stepped-care strategy arm will receive treatment through a systematic, stepwise protocol beginning with anti-arrhythmic drugs, followed by sedation and anesthesia, and progressing to haemodynamic mechanical support devices if earlier treatments prove ineffective. Catheter ablation will be reserved as the final rescue intervention.
Study summary
This is a multi-center, parallel-group, randomized, open-label trial evaluating the clinical outcome and efficacy of emergency catheter ablation versus conventional stepped-care strategies in patients with haemodynamically not-tolerated ventricular tachycardia (VT).
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Composite outcomes of ventricular tachycardia recurrence, cardiovascular hospitalization, or death during the 30-day follow-up — 30 days
Recurrent ventricular tachycardia is defined as any appropriate implantable cardiac defibrillation therapy (shock or antitachycardia pacing) or documented sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia \>30 seconds. Cardiovascular rehospitalization is defined as a hospital admission after the randomly assigned procedure for heart failure, procedure-associated complications, or arrhythmic causes during the 30-day follow-up.
