Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

NUVISION NAV Ultrasound Catheter

Participants with five different subgroups (scar-related atrial tachycardia, persistent atrial fibrillation \[PsAF\], paroxysmal atrial fibrillation \[PVF\], ventricular tachycardia \[VT\], and premature ventricular complex \[PVC\]) will be treated using NUVISION NAV ultrasound catheter per investigator's standard of care and followed until 7 days post-procedure.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

NUVISION NAV Ultrasound Catheter

Intervention Type DEVICE

Participants will be scheduled to have a clinically-indicated ablation procedure using NUVISION NAV ultrasound catheter for management of atrial procedure.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

* Able and willing to comply with all pre-, post-, and follow-up testing and requirements

Exclusion Criteria

* Structural heart defect which can only be repaired by cardiac surgery
* Pericarditis within 6 months
* Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than or equal to (\<=) 25 percent (%) for ventricular tachycardia (VT) participants
* LVEF \<= 40% for participants with atrial arrhythmia

* History of abnormal bleeding and/or clotting disorder
* Clinically significant infection or sepsis
* History of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within the past 6 months of enrollment
* Uncontrolled heart failure or New York Heart Association (NYHA) function class IV
* Implanted with a pacemaker or intracardiac cardiac defibrillator within the past 6 weeks (42 days)
* Implanted with a mechanical valve
* Diagnosed atrial or ventricular myxoma, interatrial baffle or patch, tumor or other abnormality that precludes catheter introduction or manipulation
* Any of the following within 6 months of enrollment: major surgery except for the index procedure, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, percutaneous coronary intervention
* Participants with any other significant uncontrolled or unstable medical condition (such as uncontrolled bradyarrhythmia's, ventricular arrhythmias, hyperthyroidism, or significant coagulation disorder)
* Significant congenital anomaly or medical problem that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude enrollment in this study
* Women who are pregnant (as evidenced by pregnancy test if pre-menopausal), lactating, or who are of childbearing age and plan on becoming pregnant during the course of the clinical investigation
* Categorized as vulnerable population and requires special treatment with respect to safeguards of well-being
* Concurrent enrollment in an investigational study evaluating another device or drug
