Placing a leadless pacemaker through the right neck vein
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a new way to place a small, wire-free pacemaker through a vein in the neck. It may be an option if you need a pacemaker and your doctor says a leadless one is suitable for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need to get a pacemaker for your heart condition.
- Your doctor has said a leadless pacemaker (a small, wire-free device) could work for you.
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must not have any issue that would stop doctors from accessing a vein in the right side of your neck.
- You cannot be enrolled in another clinical trial right now.

This study looks at where doctors place small, wire-free pacemakers and how that affects the safety and success of the procedure. It includes people who are about to get a leadless pacemaker or have had one since 2015.
This trial studies a small, leadless pacemaker that is placed directly in the heart to treat slow heart rhythms. It's designed for people who need a pacemaker for the bottom chambers of the heart.
This trial compares two ways to close the access site after placing a leadless pacemaker—one uses a special device, the other a stitch. It aims to see which method is safer and works better.
This trial is studying the results of implanting a leadless pacemaker, a small device placed directly inside the heart to help control heartbeats. It may be an option for people who need a pacemaker.
This study compares two types of pacemakers: a small leadless pacemaker (placed directly in the heart without wires) and a newer pacing technique called left bundle area pacing. It aims to see which is safer and works better for people who need a pacemaker due to heart block or after a TAVR procedure.
This study looks at how placing a pacemaker lead (a thin wire) in different spots in the upper heart chamber affects electrical signals. It may help doctors choose the best position for future pacemakers.
