Cardiology Past Trials

Electrophysiology - ACUTUS

Dr. Tolat and the Department of Electrophysiology are participating in this study is to demonstrate if the AcQBlate Force Sensing System is safe and effective when used to ablate the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) for the treatment of typical atrial flutter when compared to a literature-based control. The System is designed for electrophysiologic (EP) mapping and RF ablation of atrial flutter.

Electrophysiology - Discover-US

AcQMap US Registry is an observational, prospective, multi-center, open-label registry designed to provide clinical outcomes data regarding the commercial, real-life experience with the diagnostic AcQMap System being conducted by Dr. Tolat and the Department of Electrophysiology.

Cardiac Surgery - PROACT Xa

This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized active controlled clinical trial to determine if apixaban is non-inferior to warfarin (INR target range 2.0 - 3.0) for the primary composite outcome of valve thrombosis and valve-related thromboembolism in patients with an On-X mechanical heart valve implanted in the aortic position.
