The PIVATAL Study -Study of Ventricular Arrhythmia (VTA) Ablation in Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) Patients

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

To investigate the effect of VTA ablation at the time of LVAD implant to see if it can reduce the incidence of VTA after surgery

Official Title
