AutoMatic disPERsion Tagging Function Preliminary Evaluation
France40 participantsStarted 2022-05-29
Plain-language summary
Interventional, prospective, non-randomized, single-center, non-controlled clinical investigation as part of the premarket clinical evaluation of VX1+ medical device, aiming to verify that VX1+ in bidirectional configuration with auto-tagging function is both ergonomic and reliable for dispersed electrograms detection and automatic tagging on 3D-map in real-time.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patient aged 18 years or older.
* Patient candidate for catheter ablation of atrial tachycardia, or paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation, de novo or after one or several previous ablation procedures.
* Continuous anticoagulation for more than 4 weeks before ablation.
* Patient giving his signed consent form to participate in the clinical study.
* Patient affiliated to the French social security
Exclusion Criteria:
* Contraindication to AF/AT catheter ablation.
* Major bleeding disorder.
* Contraindication to anticoagulation (Heparin, Warfarin or novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC)) or lack of anticoagulation for 4 weeks prior to the procedure.
* Presence of a left atrium (LA) thrombus on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) prior to the procedure.
* Patient who is or could potentially be pregnant.
* Person deprived of liberty or under guardianship.
* Patient's refusal to participate in the study.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Perioperative reliability of VX1+ in the real-time detection of electrograms in AF or AT exhibiting a spatio-temporal dispersion, and auto-tagging of these dispersion areas on 3D electroanatomical maps.
