Information provided by:
Children's Hospital Boston
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:
NCT00979303
First received: September 17, 2009
Last updated: NA
Last verified: September 2009
History: No changes posted
  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the additional use of non-fluoroscopic imaging modalities can decrease the use of radiation exposure during standard ablation procedures for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in children.


Condition Intervention Phase
Supraventricular Tachycardia
 Device: Intracardiac echocardiography and 3D navigational system
 Phase 4

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: The Adjunct Use of Non-Fluoroscopic Imaging Devices to Decrease Radiation Exposure During Ablation of Supraventricular Tachycardia

Further study details as provided by Children's Hospital Boston:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Total fluoroscopy time [ Time Frame: During the Ablation procedure ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Total Radiation Exposure [ Time Frame: During Ablation Procedure ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 75
Study Start Date: January 2009
Estimated Primary Completion Date: September 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
No Intervention: 1
Control Patients - Undergo ablation procedures with radiation/fluoroscopy only
Experimental: 2
Study Group Patients - Undergo ablation procedures using intracardiac echocardiography and 3D navigational system in addition to radiation.
 Device: Intracardiac echocardiography and 3D navigational system
Patients assigned to the intervention group will receive both intracardiac echocardiography as well as a 3D navigational system in addition to fluoroscopy during their ablation procedure.
