Pacemaker implant without x-rays for heart block
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a new way to place a pacemaker lead that avoids X-rays (fluoroscopy). It aims to make the implantation safer and more precise for people who need help with their heart rhythm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at why people get a certain type of pacemaker (a leadless pacemaker that works without wires) and how it helps the upper and lower chambers of the heart beat together. If you have a heart block and need a pacemaker, this research might help doctors understand the best way to treat people like you.
This study tests how a pacemaker affects blood flow and heart health in people with heart block. It aims to see if special pacing settings can improve how the heart works.
This trial is testing a special way to pace the heart's natural electrical system, which may help people who need a pacemaker for certain heart-block conditions or for heart failure treatment. It aims to make pacing work better.
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 tests a new small pacemaker that is implanted directly into the heart without wires, for people with certain slow heart rhythms. It might be an option for those who have difficulty with traditional pacemakers.
