VIVO Mapping Protocol
- Conditions
- Ventricular TachycardiaVentricular Ectopic Beat(S)
- Interventions
- Diagnostic Test: VIVO non invasive mapping
- Registration Number
- NCT03994068
- Lead Sponsor
- Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust
- Brief Summary
This is a single centre study enrolling 15 subjects with structurally normal hearts that are already indicated for a ventricular ablation procedure (VT or PVCs).
The purpose is to compare the accuracy of VIVO and to assess its efficacy to decrease procedural time, and ideally, the procedural overall costs, as compared to standard of care ablation procedures. Results will be compared with data from
- Detailed Description
VIVO TM is a non invasive mapping system which can be used to localize PVC / VT origin prior to the ablative procedure.
Subjects scheduled for catheter ablation with VIVO will undergo a CT scan prior to the procedure, which will be used to create a personalized 3D model. This will be merged with a 3D photograph (taken at the start of the procedure) of the ECG electrodes on the subject's torso.
Then, the recording of the 12 lead ECG will be imported into the VIVO software. All of this data will be combined via the software and a mathematical algorithm will determine the origin of the arrhythmia. This will show the physician where to perform a successful ablation. After 3 months, the subject will return for follow up and will receive another ECG Holter monitor (ECG recording) to determine ablation success.
Subjects will be exited from the study after the 3 month follow up visit. Patients will receive standard clinical care prior to, during and after their scheduled procedure, as well as after being discarded from the trial.
Results will be analysed and compared to those from an historical cohort of patients (age / gender matched, undergone the same procedure) ablated by the same operator within the previous 5 years (from a database already collected). Data will be anonymised as per current regulations.

Group Intervention Description VIVO mapping pre-procedure VIVO non invasive mapping 15 patients with structurally normal heart and indication for PVC/VT catheter ablation, who will undergo pre-procedural non invasive mapping with VIVO mapping system.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Reduction of procedural time (in minutes) three months Use of VIVO mapping to localize the PVC / VT origin prior to the catheter procedure in order to change procedural time. Procedural time is meant to be measured in minutes per procedure, and it is normally considered from "puncture time" to "sheaths removal".
Safety - absence of acute adverse events using VIVO system for non-invasive mapping three months Absence of acute adverse events due to the use of VIVO system during PVC/VT ablation in the cohort of patients enrolled for the study. Acute adverse events are described in section 12 of the study protocol and will be reported in specific forms to the Sponsor and REC.
Safety 2 - absence of acute adverse events using VIVO system for mapping and during the whole ablation procedure three months Safety endpoint of the entire mapping and ablation strategy, determined by the absence of adverse events (AEs).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method clinical outcome assessed as change of PVCs/VT burden three months Count of PVC/VT burden at 3-month follow up Holter (expressed as No. / 24 hours)
economical outcome: change of procedural costs three months To assess economical outcome, which is meant as cost change (in pounds) per number of cases
