Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The protocols for each different arrhythmia are in line with current practice and knowledge and utilising current technology. In the program, the investigators have 1 or 2 protocols that mildly differ from conventional use but have already passed through initial experience with publication on this- this is the multi-catheter cryocatheter approach.
Acute procedural outcomes, short, medium and longterm success will be recorded for each patient, in addition to patient or participant experience and quality of life outcomes.
The catheter ablation research program has passed through ethical panel review in London and has the potential to become a multi-centre study.
