About
This study will evaluate the feasibility of visualization and characterization of arrhythmia ablation lesions by MRI immediately following standard ablation techniques. The appearance of the ablation lesion will be correlated with clinical outcomes and risk of arrhythmia recurrence.
Full description
Children's National Heart Institute (CNHI) with major contractual support from the National Institutes of Health / National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute has installed a combined X-ray / Magnetic Resonance Imaging cardiac catheterization lab suite allowing for experts in the fields of cardiac MRI, interventional cardiac MRI and clinical pediatric interventional electrophysiology to work together to make substantial advancements in the development of novel techniques and applications to reach the goal of improved survival and care for the congenital heart disease population. The CNHI X-ray/MRI suite will allow for streamlined transfer of patients from fluoroscopy directly to the MRI scanner under the same sedation thereby allowing for immediate post procedure imaging and minimizing risk to the patient.
