Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - catheter ablation using magnetic navigation
Treatment: Devices - catheter ablation using manual navigation

Experimental: Magnetic navigation - Catheter ablation using magnetic navigation for ventricular tachycardia via remote magnetic navigation of a NaviStar RMT ThermoCool catheter, or other magnetically compatible catheter, via Stereotaxis's Niobe ES system.

Active Comparator: Manual navigation - Catheter ablation using manual navigation for ventricular tachycardia via a manually navigated Thermocool catheter, or equivalent catheter.


Treatment: Devices: catheter ablation using magnetic navigation
elimination of cardiac arrhythmias through heating and destroying heart tissue with faulty electrical pathways through the use of Stereotaxis's Niobe ES System with the NaviStar RMT ThermoCool catheter or other magnetically compatible catheters.

Treatment: Devices: catheter ablation using manual navigation
elimination of cardiac arrhythmias through heating and destroying heart tissue with faulty electrical pathways through the use of the NaviStar ThermoCool catheter or other manually navigated catheters.

Summary
Brief summary
The study purpose is to demonstrate that ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation using the
Niobe™ ES system results in superior outcomes compared to a manual approach in subjects with
ischemic scar VT in a low ejection fraction population.
