Comparing two ways to pace the heart: long vs. short sheath
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a slow heart rate problem like sick sinus syndrome or heart block
- You have heart failure with a specific type of conduction delay (left bundle branch block)
- You have atrial fibrillation with a fast heartbeat that needs a special procedure and a pacemaker
- You meet the standard guidelines for getting a dual-chamber pacemaker
- You do not have an existing pacemaker or defibrillator in your body

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 trial tests a new single chamber pacemaker (ALPs) for people with certain slow heart rhythms (like high-grade AV block with atrial fibrillation, or sick sinus syndrome). It's designed for those who need only one lead in the heart and may have difficulty with a standard dual-lead pacemaker.
This study compares two types of heart pacing—one that mainly targets the heart’s lower chambers versus one that targets the right side—to see which leads to better outcomes for people needing a pacemaker. It may help improve treatment for certain slow heart rhythm problems that require pacing.
This trial compares two ways to place a heart pacemaker in patients with an abnormally wide heartbeat pattern. Researchers want to see if a newer pacing technique that targets the heart's natural conduction system works better than traditional pacing methods.
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.
