Closing the access site after leadless pacemaker implant
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at the combined use of two heart procedures: placing a leadless pacemaker (a small device to control heart rhythm) and closing off the left atrial appendage (a small pouch in the heart) to reduce stroke risk. The goal is to see if doing both together is safe and works well for people who need both.
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 compares two different pacing methods for people who need a pacemaker. It looks at how these methods affect the risk of developing atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat).
This trial tests a new way to place a small pacemaker inside the heart using ultrasound instead of X-rays. It might be a good option for people who need a pacemaker but have kidney problems or concerns about radiation.
This study compares different ways doctors can place the wires of a pacemaker or defibrillator in the heart. It aims to find which method works best and is safest for patients.
This study compares different ways to place a pacemaker wire in patients who need a pacemaker after heart surgery. The goal is to find the best placement to improve heart function and long-term outcomes.
