Study summary

This study is aimed to compare the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a zero-fluoroscopic approach using Ensite NavX with conventional fluoroscopic approach using Ensite NavX plus fluoroscopy for the ablation of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.

Read the detailed description

Fluoroscopy is the imagine modality routinely used in catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias. As we all know,fluoroscopic radiation is harmful both to the patients and the operation staffs. Recently,three-dimensional navigation systems have been developed and implemented in electrophysiological procedures for guiding catheters inside the heart chambers. Among the three-dimensional navigation systems, Ensite NavX is a promising system used for zero-fluoroscopic approach for performing catheter ablation of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. This study is aimed to compare the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a zero-fluoroscopic approach using Ensite NavX with conventional fluoroscopic approach using Ensite NavX plus fluoroscopy for the ablation of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Procedural success rate

    Procedural success for AVNRT was defined as the absence of inducible tachycardia either under basal condition or under isoproterenol stimulation. Procedural success for AVRT was defined as the non-inducibility of tachycardia, loss of pre-excitation (if manifest), loss of retrograde accessory pathway conduction and transient atrioventricular block induced by intravenous adenosine.

    Time frame: one year

Secondary outcomes

  1. Complications

    Complications were defined as pseudoaneurysm, arterialvenous fistula, pneumothorax, second- or third-degree atrioventricular block, cardiac tamponade, or other serious complications requiring intervention.

    Time frame: one year

  2. Immediate success rate

    Procedural success for AVNRT was defined as the absence of inducible tachycardia either under basal condition or under isoproterenol stimulation. Procedural success for AVRT was defined as the non-inducibility of tachycardia, loss of pre-excitation (if manifest), loss of retrograde accessory pathway conduction and transient atrioventricular block induced by intravenous adenosine.

    Time frame: one day

  3. Recurrence Rate

    2\. An ECG and electrophysiology study would be performed to rule out recurrence when the patients had suspicious symptoms or signs.

    Time frame: 1 year

  4. Total procedure time

    Procedure time (in minutes) was defined as the interval from the beginning of local anesthesia to extraction of all femoral venous sheaths at the end of the procedure. Total ablation time was calculated in seconds but time for tentative ablation was not taken into account.

    Time frame: one day

  5. Fluoroscopy time

    2\. Fluoroscopy time (in minutes) was defined as thetotal duration of exposure during the procedure.

    Time frame: one day

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 24, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
