Waltham, Massachusetts-based Thermedical will conduct an open-label, single-arm interventional clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Thermedical SERF ablation system with the Durablate catheter in people with ventricular tachycardia (VT) resistant to conventional treatment.
Thermedical designed the SERF ablation system with the Durablate catheter to treat patients with ventricular arrhythmias resistant to antiarrhythmic drugs or standard ablation procedures. The current treatment for VT comes in the form of implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs). VT patients with ICDs who experience VT episodes may be treated with conventional radiofrequency ablation.
According to a news release, the system provides a new form of biological heat transfer that it designed to be more efficient than conventional abl…
