Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This will be a prospective, multi-center and non-randomized study. All treated patients will receive ablation therapy for typical atrial flutter using the TherapyTM Cool FlexTM Irrigated Ablation System. Historical data from combined published (PMA P060019 Cool Path) and reported (IDE G090109 Cool Path Duo) Atrial Flutter studies will be used to determine performance goals for study endpoints.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • A signed written Informed Consent
  • Presence of typical atrial flutter (cavo-tricuspid isthmus dependent)
  • If subjects are receiving anti-arrhythmic drug therapy (Class I or Class III AAD) for an arrhythmia other than typical atrial flutter, then the subject needs to be controlled on their medication for at least 3 months. If the subject had typical atrial flutter before starting the AAD(s) (Class I or Class III) and then subsequently had another arrhythmia (i.e. atrial fibrillation), then the 3 month AAD criteria will not apply
  • One documented occurrence of the study arrhythmia documented by ECG, Holter, telemetry strip, or transtelephonic monitor within the past 6 months
  • In good physical health
  • 18 years of age or older
  • Agree to comply with follow-up visits and evaluation

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior typical atrial flutter ablation treatment
  • Pregnancy
  • Atypical flutter or scar flutter (non isthmus dependent)
  • Significant coronary heart disease or heart failure; that is unstable angina pectoris and/or uncontrolled congestive heart failure (NYHA Class III or IV) at the time of enrollment
  • A recent myocardial infarction within 3 months of the intended procedure date
  • Permanent coronary sinus pacing lead
  • Clinically significant Tricuspid valvular disease requiring surgery and/or a prosthetic tricuspid heart valve
  • Evidence of intra-cardiac thrombus or a history of clotting disorders
  • Participation in another investigational study
  • Cardiac surgery within 1 month prior to the intended procedure date
  • Allergy or contraindication to Heparin

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Primary Safety: Incidence of Composite, Serious Adverse Events Within 7 Days Post-Procedure
Time Frame: 7 days
Primary safety is defined as the incidence of composite, serious adverse events within 7 days post-procedure, regardless of whether a determination can be made regarding device relatedness.
7 days
Primary Efficacy
Time Frame: 30 minutes
Primary efficacy or acute success is defined as achievement of bi-directional block in the cavo-tricuspid isthmus and non-inducibility of typical atrial flutter at least 30 minutes following the last RF ablation with the investigational system.
30 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Secondary Efficacy
Time Frame: 3 months
Secondary efficacy or chronic success is defined as freedom from recurrence of typical atrial flutter 3 mos. post ablation. Flutter recurrence will be documented on an ECG. Repeat ablations, new antiarrhythmia medications or increase in the existing anti-arrhythmic medications during the 3 mos. post ablation are considered chronic failures.

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
