Comparing leadless pacemakers to left bundle area pacing
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You need a permanent pacemaker because of heart block (AV node disease) or because you had a TAVR procedure
- Your heart's pumping strength (ejection fraction) is above 50%
- You do not have permanent or persistent atrial fibrillation
- You do not already have a pacemaker or implantable defibrillator

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two pacemaker pacing strategies—left-sided “bundle branch area” pacing versus right-sided ventricular pacing. It aims to see which approach better prevents heart failure getting worse and reduces abnormal timing between heart chambers over time.
This trial studies a newer pacing method (left bundle area pacing) versus the standard method (right ventricular apical pacing) in people who need a pacemaker for heart block. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer.
This study compares newer pacemaker types to see how well they work and how they affect your heart's pumping ability and valve function over a short period. You'll be monitored closely with heart imaging to understand which pacemaker performs best.
This trial compares a newer pacing technique (left bundle branch area stimulation) with standard pacing in people who need a pacemaker after TAVI (a valve replacement procedure). It aims to see if the newer method works better for keeping the heart's rhythm stable.
This study compares a newer heart pacing method (left bundle branch pacing) to the standard method (right ventricular pacing) in people who need most of their heartbeats paced. It may help improve how well the heart pumps over time.
This study compares two types of pacemaker pacing methods in people with heart block and normal heart pumping function. It looks at how often short bursts of fast heart rhythm occur in the upper heart chambers, which may help improve long-term heart health.
