Comparing routes for implanting pacemakers or defibrillators
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You need a pacemaker or defibrillator with one or two leads
- You are not already scheduled for a special type of device that stimulates both sides of the heart
- You do not have any condition that makes it impossible to access your veins
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are not under legal protection or in a psychiatric care setting

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study compares two places to attach the pacing wire (lead) that helps your heart beat regularly. The goal is to find out which location works better for people getting a new pacemaker or similar heart device.
This study compares two methods of placing a pacemaker lead to see if one works as well as the other for people who need a pacemaker. It may help improve heart function and reduce symptoms.
This trial looks at how to manage and check implanted heart devices (pacemakers/defibrillators) during and around a planned procedure. It may help teams improve safety and decision-making during surgery or catheter procedures.
This trial looks at different ways to pace the heart (like left, right, or both sides) to see which works best for people who need a pacemaker. If you have a heart condition requiring a pacemaker, this study may help find the safest and most effective option for you.
