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.

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 tests a new approach that combines a leadless pacemaker with a device to close off a part of the heart (left atrial appendage) to reduce stroke risk in people with atrial fibrillation. It may help patients who need both a pacemaker and stroke prevention.
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 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 study compares three different ways to place a pacemaker or defibrillator wire inside the heart. If you need your first heart device, this trial could help find the safest and most effective method for you.
This study looks at whether placing a pacemaker in different locations affects how patients do afterward. If you recently had a pacemaker implanted and can follow study instructions, you may be able to help researchers compare outcomes.
