About this trial

Sphere VT is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm, unblinded pivotal clinical study. Adult subjects with recurrent, sustained, monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (MMVT) due to prior myocardial infarction (MI) will be enrolled and treated with the Sphere-9 Catheter and Affera Ablation System.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Prior myocardial infarction (MI).

At least one episode of sustained (continuous for >30 seconds or requiring ICD intervention for termination) monomorphic ventricular tachycardia within the 6 months prior to enrollment.

Recurrence of sustained ventricular tachycardia despite Class I or III antiarrhythmic drug therapy or ICD intervention.

Implanted with an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) or CRT-D for at least 2 months prior to the ablation procedure.

Disqualifiers

Incessant VT necessitating hemodynamic support prior to the ablation procedure.

Unstable polymorphic VT or ventricular fibrillation (VF).

Idiopathic VT or VT of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy.

VT secondary to electrolyte imbalance, active thyroid disease, or any other reversible or non-cardiac cause (e.g., drug-induced arrhythmia).
