The purpose of this study is to collect information about how safe Dual Energy THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH™ SF (DE STSF) catheter with TRUPULSE™ Generator is and how effective a specific procedural workflow is when this ablation system is used to treat ventricular arrhythmias. The main aims of this study are to see whether the abnormal heart rhythm can be successfully treated while maintaining a specific procedural workflow with the catheter and generator during the cardiac ablation and to monitor participant safety after the procedure by checking if the participant has any complications.

RECRUITINGPVC Arm: Effectiveness of the Procedural Workflow
Effectiveness of the procedural workflow for PVC arm is defined as reduction in burden at 3 months after the index ablation procedure compared to the baseline burden. PVC burden is defined as the percentage of PVCs relative to the total heartbeats measured during a 24-hour Holter monitoring.
Time frame: At 3 Months post index ablation procedure
SMIVT and SMNIVT arms: Effectiveness of the Procedural Workflow
Effectiveness of the procedural workflow for SMIVT and SMNIVT arm is defined as freedom from documented recurrence (symptomatic or asymptomatic) of any monomorphic VT based on electrocardiographic data (Holter or \>= 30 seconds on ECG or any appropriate ICD therapy) throughout 6 months after the index ablation procedure.
Time frame: At 6 months post index ablation procedure
Occurrence of Primary Adverse Events (PAE)
Occurrence of PAEs within 7 days of the index ablation procedure where the DE STSF Catheter and TRUPULSE Generator are used will be reported. PAEs include the following adverse events: cardiac tamponade/perforation, phrenic nerve paralysis (permanent), device or procedure related death, stroke/cerebrovascular accident (CVA), major vascular access complication/bleeding, thromboembolism, myocardial infarction (MI), transient ischemic attack (TIA), pericarditis, heart block, pulmonary edema (respiratory insufficiency), vagal nerve injury/gastroparesis, aggravation or new onset heart failure, coronary artery injury, aortic dissection, and valve injury.
Time frame: Up to 7 days post index ablation procedure
Occurrence of Serious Adverse Device Effects (SADEs)
A SADE is an adverse device effect that has resulted in any of the consequences characteristic of a serious adverse event (SAE). A SAE is any event that led to any of the following: Death, Serious deterioration in the health of a participant that resulted in any of the following: life-threatening illness or injury, permanent impairment of a body structure or a body function, in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of patient hospitalization, medical or surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening illness or injury or permanent impairment to body structure or a body function, chronic disease and fetal distress, fetal death or a congenital physical or mental impairment or birth defect.
Time frame: Up to Day 180 post index ablation procedure
Occurrence of Unanticipated Serious Adverse Device Effects (USADEs)
An USADE is any SAE on health, safety, any life-threatening problem, or death caused by, or associated with a device, if that effect, problem, or death was not previously identified in nature, severity, outcome, or degree of incidence in the current investigational plan or risk analysis report, or any other unanticipated serious problem associated with a device that relates to rights, safety, or welfare of participants.
Time frame: Up to Day 180 post index ablation procedure
Occurrence of SAEs
An SAE is any event that led to any of the following: Death, Serious deterioration in the health of a participant that resulted in any of the following: life-threatening illness or injury, permanent impairment of a body structure or a body function, in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of patient hospitalization, medical or surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening illness or injury or permanent impairment to body structure or a body function, chronic disease and fetal distress, fetal death or a congenital physical or mental impairment or birth defect.
Time frame: Within 7 days (early-onset), 8 to 30 days and >30 days (late onset) that is up to 6 months post index ablation procedure
Occurrence of Non-Serious Adverse Events (Non-SAEs)
An Adverse Event (AE) means any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury or any untoward clinical signs, including an abnormal laboratory finding, in participants, users or other persons, in the context of a clinical investigation, whether or not related to the investigational device.
Time frame: Within 7 days (early-onset), 8 to 30 days and >30 days (late onset) that is up to 6 months post index ablation procedure
Acute Effectiveness
Acute effectiveness (acute success) of the index VA ablation procedure performed using the DE STSF catheter in combination with the TRUPULSE Generator will be reported. It is defined as: * PVC arm: Acute success is defined as elimination of the targeted PVC(s) after awaiting period of at least 15 minutes, at the end of the procedure. * SMIVT and SMNIVT arms: Acute success is defined as elimination and non-inducibility of any monomorphic VT at the end of procedure.
