Placing a mini pacemaker through a neck vein
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to place a small pacemaker in the heart by going through a vein in the neck instead of the leg. It may be a good option for people who have limited leg vein access or are at high risk of infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have a slow heart rhythm (like heart block or sick sinus syndrome) that needs a pacemaker.
- You may have limited access in the leg veins, but the vein in your neck is healthy.
- Your heart is strong enough (not in severe heart failure).
- You can attend a follow-up visit about 3 months after the procedure.

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.
This study tests a new type of pacemaker that only paces the lower right chamber of the heart (ventricle). It's for people whose heart rate is too slow or irregular and who might have trouble with traditional pacemakers.
This trial tests a new pacemaker system for people who need a pacemaker for a slow or irregular heartbeat. It aims to see if the system is safe and works well.
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.
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 trial studies a small, leadless pacemaker that is placed directly in the heart to treat slow heart rhythms. It's designed for people who need a pacemaker for the bottom chambers of the heart.
