Pacing the heart's left bundle branch area with a new lead
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new pacing lead placed in the left bundle branch area of the heart. It is for people who need a pacemaker for certain slow or irregular heart rhythms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a pacemaker for conditions like slow heart rate, fainting, or certain heart block problems.
- You must be getting your first permanent pacemaker (no prior pacemaker or defibrillator implants).
- You cannot have a mechanical heart valve in the tricuspid position or need dialysis.
- You must be 18 or older and able to attend follow-up visits as scheduled.
- You must not be pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

This study tests a new way to place a pacemaker lead in the left bundle branch area of the heart. It may help people who need a pacemaker to see if this approach is safe and works well.
This study tests a new pacing lead designed to be placed in the wall between the heart's lower chambers (septum). It aims to see if this lead is safe and works well for people who need a new pacemaker.
This trial is testing a new type of single-chamber pacemaker (called ALPs) for people who need a pacemaker due to a slow heart rate (heart block), often with atrial fibrillation. It's a leadless device that is placed directly inside the heart, avoiding the need for wires.
This study tests a new type of pacemaker system that delivers pacing to the left side of the heart through a lead placed deep in the wall between the lower chambers. The goal is to see if this approach works well for people who need a pacemaker or CRT.
This trial tests whether a shorter pacing lead delivery method works as well as a longer one for certain heart conditions. It may help people who need a permanent pacemaker for slow heart rhythms, heart failure, or irregular heartbeats.
This trial compares two pacing methods (LBBAP vs RVP) in people with heart block who need a pacemaker. It looks at whether one method reduces the chance of developing atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat). To join, you must have a specific type of heart block, never had atrial fibrillation, and have a healthy pumping heart.
