Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This trial aims to develop evidence based curative treatment with optimal net benefit for patients with Brugada syndrome.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This trial aims to develop evidence based curative treatment with optimal net benefit for patients with Brugada syndrome. Since a recent non-randomized pilot study and scarce case reports documented potential clinical benefit of epicardial ablation of fragmented electrograms in the region of the right ventricular outflow tract, patients in this trial will be randomized to continued implanted cardioverter defibrillator therapy (control arm) or ablation of areas of fragmented electrograms in the right ventricular outflow tract plus continued implanted cardioverter defibrillator therapy (intervention arm). A projected 92 patients in each group will be studied.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* The diagnosis of Brugada syndrome is based on 2013 HRS/EHRA/APHRS Consensus document criteria
* Diagnosed symptomatic BrS with an implanted ICD within the last 5 years
* Diagnosed symptomatic BrS with an implanted ICD longer than 5 years but has at least 1 appropriate shock within the last 5 years
* The patient is legally competent, willing and able to undergo the study and signed the informed consent
* The patient is willing and able to adhere to the follow-up visit protocol

* A patient who has had a previous epicardial ablation
* A patient who is pregnant (which would exclude an ablation procedure)
* A patient with a co-morbid condition that possesses undue risk of general anesthesia or epicardial ablation
* A patient who has a history of radiation therapy on the thorax
