Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of LBBA pacing/sensing in patients implanted with the Tendril STS 2088TC or UltiPace LPA1231 lead through 6 months post-implant.

The purpose of the clinical investigation is to evaluate the safety and performances of the new LINEA cardiac pacing lead, intended for placement at the interventricular septum.

The recent development and market introduction of small diameter implantable defibrillation leads able to deliver left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) has opened the possibility of achieving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) using a single- or dual-chamber implantable-cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). This approach may reduce the number of intracardiac leads required and, consequently, has the potential to lower both procedural and long-term complication rates. However, the integration of these leads into currently recommended CRT strategies remains hypothetical. The FORGE CSP registry will prospectively enroll patients with an indication for CRT in whom implantation of a LBBAP ICD lead is attempted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to record the incidence of newly developed or worsening tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) following the implantation of a pacemaker or defibrillator with a transvenous lead. To collect this data, a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) with 3D imaging of the tricuspid valve (TV) will be performed before and after pacemaker implantation, with particular emphasis on assessing the tricuspid valve. Additionally, routine follow-up visits will be conducted at 6 and 12 months post-intervention, during which a TTE, ECG, NT-proBNP measurement, and pacemaker check will be performed.

PROTECT-SYNC study is a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial. A total of 7 medical centers across Republic of Korea will enroll 450 patients during 2 years of enrollment period, and followed for 2 years of follow-up period. The purpose of this study to compare the clinical outcomes of Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing (LBBAP) compared to Right Ventricular Pacing (RVP) in bradyarrhythmia patients who require high burden of ventricular pacing (\>40%).

To evaluate the capability to monitor LBB success criteria with the use of a Smart ECG system (ECG monitor, 12 leads ECG cable, ECG viewer software ) during a cardiac device implantation involving the placement of a pacing lead in interventricular septum area

The PROTECT-HF multi-centre randomised controlled trial will compare two different pacing approaches for treating patients with slow heart rates. In it the investigators will compare a long-standing standard approach for pacing; right ventricular pacing, with a new form of pacing, physiological pacing (His and Left bundle area pacing) in 2600 patients. Patients will be allocated at random to receive either right ventricular pacing or physiological pacing. Endpoint measurements will be undertaken at baseline, and at six-monthly intervals post-randomisation. Treatment allocation will be blinded to the endpoint assessor and the patient. Recruitment and pacemaker implantation will be carried out at each participating centre. The primary analysis will be intention to treat. The investigators will also perform an on-treatment analysis. 2048 patients are needed to detect the expected effect size with 85% power. A total of 2600 patients will be recruited to allow for patient drop-out and crossover. 500-patient sub-study will assess within patient, and between groups, echocardiographic changes over a 24-month period to try and improve mechanistic understanding of PICM (Pacing Induced Cardiomyopathy).

The main objective of the project is to demonstrate that in patients with heart failure and QRS complex of nonRBBB morphology lasting over 130 ms, UHF-ECG can differentiate patients with trueLBBB from IVCD better than existing approaches based on the assessment of QRS complex morphology and duration from 12-lead ECG. Another goal of the proposed study is to demonstrate that trueLBBB patients will benefit more from CRT using left bundle branch pacing than from CRT using biventricular pacing. The final aim of the project is to demonstrate that the echocardiographic and clinical response in patients with intraventricular conduction disturbance will be dependent on the degree of reduction in ventricular dyssynchrony after CRT.

The purpose of the clinical investigation is to evaluate the safety of the FLEXIGO delivery catheter for transvenous pacing lead implantation.

This is a single-center, randomized controlled study. The aim of this study is to compare the impact of left bundle branch area pacing versus traditional right ventricular pacing on the incidence of atrial fibrillation in patients with atrioventricular block.
