This Study Will Evaluate if the Field Force Pulsed Field Ablation System is Safe and Effective for Treating Sustained Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia, a Potentially Serious Fast Heart Rhythm of the Heart. The Treatment Uses Short Pulses of Energy to Target and Destroy the Heart Tissue Causing VT
Pivotal Study to Evaluate Catheter Ablation in Patients With Scar-Related Monomorphic Sustained VT in the Ventricular Ectopy and Reduction in Tachycardia Ablation Studies Program (VERITAS SCAR VT)
The VERITAS VT Study is a prospective, multicenter, international, single-arm clinical investigation designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the FieldForce™ Pulsed Field Ablation System for the treatment of sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT). Eligible patients undergoing catheter ablation for VT will receive treatment with the investigational pulsed field ablation system according to the study protocol.
The study will assess acute and chronic outcomes including major adverse events, freedom from recurrent ventricular tachycardia, need for antiarrhythmic drug escalation, repeat ablation procedures, and other clinically relevant outcomes through 180 days following the index ablation procedure.
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
Ventricular tachycardia remains a significant source of morbidity and mortality among patients with structural heart disease. Although catheter ablation is an established therapeutic option, long-term recurrence rates remain substantial and procedural challenges continue to exist.
The VERITAS VT Study is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm clinical investigation evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the Field Force Pulsed Field Ablation System in subjects with sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. Eligible participants will undergo mapping and ablation using the Field Force Pulsed Field Ablation System during the index procedure. Subjects will be followed for 180 days after the index procedure to assess safety and effectiveness outcomes.
The primary safety objective is to evaluate the incidence of device- and procedure-related major adverse events. The primary effectiveness objective is to evaluate freedom from recurrence of sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia through 180 days following the index ablation procedure

Intervention / Treatment |
|---|---|

Experimental: Field Force Pulsed Fiel Ablation
Participants will undergo ventricular tachycardia ablation using the Field Force Pulsed Field Ablation System during the index procedure.
|
The Field Force Pulsed Field Ablation System is an investigational device that delivers non-thermal pulsed electric field energy through a catheter-based platform to ablate targeted cardiac tissue.
The system is intended for use during catheter ablation procedures in patients with sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) to treat tissue involved in the initiation and maintenance of the arrhythmia.
