New catheter for pacemaker lead placement in the septum
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new thin tube (catheter) used to guide a pacing wire into the wall between the heart's lower chambers, called the septum. It may be a good option if you need a first-time pacemaker or CRT-D implant and your heart's pumping function is fairly good.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a pacemaker or a CRT-D (a special defibrillator that helps the heart beat in sync).
- This must be your first pacemaker or defibrillator implant (not a replacement or upgrade).
- Your doctor plans to place the wire (lead) in the wall between the heart's lower chambers, called the septum.
- Your heart's pumping strength (LVEF) must be above 35%.
- You do not have a congenital heart defect, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or cardiac amyloidosis.
- You are not pregnant, and you are able to give informed consent.

This study tests a new pacing lead designed to be placed in the wall between the heart's lower chambers (septum). It aims to see if this lead is safe and works well for people who need a new pacemaker.
This trial is testing a new type of defibrillator lead (the wire that connects a defibrillator to the heart) that is designed for pacing the heart's natural electrical system. It aims to see if this approach works well and is safe for people who need cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), a treatment that helps the heart beat in a more coordinated way.
This trial tests a noninvasive way to map your heart’s wiring and veins to help guide placement of a heart resynchronization therapy (CRT) device. If you have certain abnormal heart rhythm and weak heart pumping, it may help doctors place the therapy more accurately and safely.
This trial is testing a new type of pacemaker system. It may be an option for adults who need a single-chamber ventricular pacemaker and are generally in good health.
This trial tests whether a shorter pacing lead delivery method works as well as a longer one for certain heart conditions. It may help people who need a permanent pacemaker for slow heart rhythms, heart failure, or irregular heartbeats.
This study tests a new type of pacemaker system that delivers pacing to the left side of the heart through a lead placed deep in the wall between the lower chambers. The goal is to see if this approach works well for people who need a pacemaker or CRT.
