Clinical trials

Single-shot pulsed-field ablation (PFA) catheters maximize pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) efficiency but are limited for focal or linear ablation. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a novel, PFA catheter that transitions between large 'petals' (single-shot), and a small, spherical 'bud' (large-focal/linear), enabling a PVI-plus strategy in patients with persistent AF (PersAF). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is there an absence of serious procedure or device-related adverse events within 7 days? 2. Can the catheter achieve durable lesions? This trial enrolled patients with perAF , who were treated under general anesthesia with the shape-adaptive PFA catheter (PFLotus, bipolar, biphasic, 850 V, 60 μs, EnChannel Medical). Participants will: 1. Undergo PVI and linear ablation with the PFLotus PFA catheter under general anesthesia; 2. Undergo remapping within 3-month post the index ablation to assess the durability of the lesions; 3. Undergo follow-up occurred at 7 days, 30 days, 3, 6, and 12 months. Recurrence was assessed via 12-lead ECG at each visit and 24-hour or 7-day Holter monitoring at 6 and 12 months.

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), focal, and linear ablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (PersAF) using a novel shape-adaptive pulsed field ablation (PFA) catheter (PFLotus, EnChannel Medical) integrated with a novel mapping system (DePolar, EnChannel Medical). The primary study objectives are to determine: * The incidence of serious procedure- or device-related adverse events within 7 days post-procedure (primary safety endpoint). * The clinical effectiveness of the integrated PFA and mapping system. * The ability of the novel PFA system to produce durable ablation lesions. PersAF patients will be treated under general anesthesia using the PFLotus PFA catheter (bipolar, biphasic waveform; 850 V, 60 μs per pulse). Ablation targets, including PVI and other lesions (left atrial posterior wall, mitral isthmus, cavotricuspid isthmus, and superior vena cava), will be accessed under fluoroscopic and DePolar mapping system guidance. Participants will: 1. Receive PVI, focal, and linear ablation using the PFLotus PFA catheter and DePolar mapping system under general anesthesia; 2. Be monitored for serious procedure- or device-related adverse events during the first 7 days post-procedure; 3. Undergo repeat electrophysiological mapping at 3 months to assess lesion durability; 4. Attend scheduled follow-up visits at 7 days, 30 days, and 3, 6, and 12 months post-ablation. Atrial arrhythmia recurrence will be assessed via 12-lead electrocardiography at each visit and by 24-hour or 7-day Holter monitoring at the 6- and 12-month visits.

The non-invasive evaluation of liver steatosis and fibrosis with FibroScan is a routinely procedure in clinical practice for people with obesity. However, there are still considerable uncertainties regarding the potential influence of confounding factors and the optimal application of cut-off values for obesity. The goal of this observational study is to learn about the optimal application of cut-off values of for Chinese people with obesity.

This study aims to evaluate the risks of steam pop (POP) and esophageal injury, as well as related influencing parameters, under ultra-high power ablation technology. In the treatment of arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, cardiac ablation surgery is a common method. The use of ultra-high power ablation technology can shorten the operation time and improve effectiveness, but it may also increase the risk of damage to surrounding structures such as the esophagus. We will recruit a certain number of patients who are scheduled to undergo ultra-high power ablation surgery. We will record various parameters during the surgery, such as energy, time, and contact force, and monitor patients for signs of esophageal injury after the surgery. We expect that through this study, we can better understand the potential risks of ultra-high power ablation to the esophagus and identify the key parameters affecting these risks. This will help to improve surgical techniques, reduce complications, and enhance patient safety and surgical outcomes.

Objective: This clinical study employs a prospective, paired, self-controlled, non-inferiority, multicenter research design to assess the safety and efficacy of utilizing 5G cloud follow-up for CIED in parameters monitoring and remote programming post-implantation. Participants will: undergo regular clinic follow-up visits in accordance with the guidelines undergo routine in-office follow-up and 5G cloud follow-up during each regular clinic visit

The latest OCTARAY multi-electrode mapping catheter and TUREref technology were used to perform ultra-high precision mapping on the left atrial and left atrial auricle of persistent atrial fibrillation in the condition of sinus rhythm and atrial fibrillation respectively, and the density and accuracy of potential were significantly improved. According to the mapping results, the numerical calculation of the personalized low voltage region was carried out, and the personalized ablation route was designed according to the low voltage region.

This is an investigator-initiated, single-arm, prospective clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of heptapopal in the treatment of thrombocytopenia prior to elective surgery
