Brain Perfusion and Hemodynamic Stability in Patients Undergoing Radiofrequency Ablation of Ventricular Tachycardia
NCT01695551 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a life-threatening, fast heart rhythm that starts in the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles). This fast heartbeat is caused by abnormal electrical pathways located in the heart tissue. A standard procedure called a catheter ablation has been used for several years to help correct these abnormal pathways and, in some cases, improve or even eliminate the ventricular tachycardia. During a VT ablation it is routine to monitor your vital signs (blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation in your blood). If you choose to participate in this study we will also monitor your cerebral oximetry, the amount of blood flow and oxygen saturation to your brain during the ablation. By doing this study, we hope to have a better understanding of patients' blood and oxygen flow to their brain during an episode of Ventricular Tachycardia (VT).

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01695551
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01695551 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 11 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Dhanunjaya Lakkireddy, MD, FACC, which has 3 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Ventricular Tachycardia appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Data Collection Forms is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01695551 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Kansas. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
