Comparing routes for your first heart device implant
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- This is your first pacemaker or defibrillator implant (single or dual chamber)
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are not currently in another research study that might interfere

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 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.
This study compares two ways of placing a pacemaker lead to see if one protects your heart's pumping ability better over time. It may help prevent heart muscle weakness caused by pacing.
This study tests a new type of defibrillator that goes underneath the skin, near your breastbone, to protect against dangerous heart rhythms. It may be an option if you need an ICD but haven't had certain prior chest surgeries or devices.
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 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.
