An interventional study of MRI scan in Ventricular Tachycardia and Cardiac Arrhythmia, sponsored by Children's National Research Institute. Completed at 1 site in United States. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-01-21.
Sponsored by Children's National Research Institute · Not applicable, Interventional, and Diagnostic
This study will evaluate the feasibility of visualization and characterization of arrhythmia ablation lesions by MRI immediately following standard ablation techniques. The appearance of the ablation lesion will be correlated with clinical outcomes and risk of arrhythmia recurrence.
Children's National Heart Institute (CNHI) with major contractual support from the National Institutes of Health / National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute has installed a combined X-ray / Magnetic Resonance Imaging cardiac catheterization lab suite allowing for experts in the fields of cardiac MRI, interventional cardiac MRI and clinical pediatric interventional electrophysiology to work together to make substantial advancements in the development of novel techniques and applications to reach the goal of improved survival and care for the congenital heart disease population. The CNHI X-ray/MRI suite will allow for streamlined transfer of patients from fluoroscopy directly to the MRI scanner under the same sedation thereby allowing for immediate post procedure imaging and minimizing risk to the patient.

Exclusion Criteria:
Patients with a contraindication to MRI scanning will be excluded. These contraindications include patients with the following devices:
Post ablation MRI scan will be performed for all subjects who are clinically stable.
Other: MRI scan
Following the clinically indicated cardiac ablation procedure, a post ablation MRI scan will be performed.
The number of participants following ablation procedure who: a). have an arrythmia reoccurrence, b). require a repeat ablation procedure, and c). require treatment for arrhythmia management
Time frame: Post ablation up to 5 years
To measure the size of the ablation lesion on cardiac MR imaging
Time frame: At the end of each ablation procedure through study completion, up to 5 years.
The number of post ablation MR images with a visible lesion.
Time frame: At the end of each ablation procedure through study completion, up to 5 years.
