Filter by:Primary objective: To compare the safety and efficacy of closure strategies post venous access procedures. Hypothesis: We anticipate that the use of a venous closure device will decrease the time to hemostasis (TTH), time to ambulation (TTA) and time to discharge (TTD) compared to conventional methods of closure following venous access procedure.
This is a randomized controlled single-centre clinical trial with a cross-over design to compare non-invasively evaluated central blood pressure and related parametres in sick sinus syndrome patients with hypertension who are paced long-term at a slower vs faster heart rate
Different studies for cardiac ganglionated plexus（GP） ablation to treat vagal vascular syncope, sinus node dysfunction, and functional atrioventricular block have been published. Investigators have developed a more specific approach of cardiac, called cardioneuroablation . This treatment is based on a high-frequency stimulation (HFS) and/or anatomical landmarks to identify GPs in left atrium，which being targeted by radiofrequency catheter ablation. The feasibility of GPs ablation/cardioneuroablation has already been tested in our center in former studies in humans,with a favorable outcome for the patients involved. The results of the former studies have been submitted for publication. However, there are no prospective randomized studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atrial ganglionated plexus ablation for SSS before permanent pacemaker implantation. The purpose of this study of GAPS in humans is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cardioneuroablation in patients of sick sinus syndrome before they receive a permanent pacemaker.
This is a voluntary research study to find out which location in the heart a pacemaker wire is the most efficient for a patient's heart and for battery life. Patients who volunteer and are eligible for the study will be randomized to receive one of two positions for the wire to be screwed into, in addition to studying multiple positions in the heart during the pacemaker insertion. Enrolled patients will be in the study for 1 year. They will also have an Ultrasound of their heart performed to assess how the pacemaker wire is affecting their heart. Pacemakers are connected to the heart by wires that are screwed into the heart. The wires can be connected to the heart in different places, which can affect how well the heart beats over time. The typical position is at the tip of the heart. This position may cause the heart to beat inefficiently. Over time, this could lead to weakened heart muscle, irregular heart rhythm, and more hospitalizations. The heart has special muscle cells and fibers that carry electrical signals through and around the heart. An alternative spot to place the pacemaker wire is in an area where these special cells are grouped together (called the HIS bundle). The pacemaker wire can be connected to the heart at a location which may allow the heart to beat more efficiently when compared to putting the wire at traditional spots in the heart (called HIS bundle pacing). However, sometimes connecting the wire into the HIS bundle may cause the pacemaker battery to wear out faster. Physicians can also connect the pacemaker wired near the HIS bundle (called Left left Bundle bundle area pacing). The study physicians hope this will allow the heart to beat more efficiently without causing the battery to wear out faster. The study physicians would like to study how different wire positions change heart beat efficiency and how long the pacemaker battery lasts when the wires are placed in different locations. This study will connect the pacemaker wire at either the HIS Bundle or the left bundle area pacing, to see how effectively the heart pumps and how much battery is being used.
The goal of this study is to assess the feasibility, accuracy and safety of performing fluoroless (or low fluoro) conduction system pacing utilizing electro-anatomic mapping (EAM) with the CARTO 3 mapping system (Biosense Webster Inc, Irvine, CA) in comparison to a group of patients undergoing conventional conduction system pacing (CSP) Implants.
The recent study using IRSplus and VpS algorithm from Biotronik pacemaker showed the significant reduction in ventricular pacing to less than 3%. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of IRSplus and VpS algorithm in reducing ventricular pacing compared with conventional DDD pacing with a fixed AV delay.
The Physiologic Pacing Registry is a prospective, observational, multi-center registry performed to gain a broader understanding of 1) physiologic pacing implant and follow-up workflows, including pacing and sensing measurements and 2) the clinical utility in creating a 3-dimensional electro-anatomical map of cardiac structures prior to physiologic pacing device implants based on the clinical site's routine care.
The study will try to access the efficacy of atrial pacing, medication and radiofrequency ablation in treating patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and sinus node dysfunction; to identify the response to these treatments in patients with "functional" and organic sinus node dysfunction respectively; to explore the necessity of pacemaker implantation in patients with "functional" sinus node dysfunction. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria will receive pacemaker implantation followed by trial pacing, medication and radiofrequency ablation of AF. Device data will be analyzed to answer the question. And after follow-up of 1 year, lower rate of pacemaker will be set as 40 bpm for patients without AF. The proportion of pacing and patients' tolerance will be analyzed.
This study is a prospective, non-randomized pilot study looking to evaluate the effectiveness of Closed Loop Stimulation (CLS) in sinus node dysfunction patients with HIS bundle placement. Patients with sinus node dysfunction who have previously received a Biotronik pacemaker with His bundle lead placement as part of routine care will be recruited for the study. A hand-grip exercise will be performed at the conclusion of bicycle exercise testing in order to assess the performance of CLS during isometric exercise. After the study exercise testing is completed, data will be collected from the pacemaker.
This is a single-arm, non-randomized, non-blinded study designed to collect device data in patients with permanent His bundle (HB) pacing lead and an existing Abbott permanent pacemaker, defibrillator, or cardiac resynchronization device. Prospective data collection includes surface electrocardiograms, intracardiac electrograms, and pacing parameters, recorded during a patient visit. Additional retrospective data collection includes procedural data during the HB pacing lead and device implant. Up to 200 subjects will participate in this clinical investigation. The clinical investigation will be conducted at up to 8 centers worldwide. The total duration of the clinical investigation is expected to be 1 year, including enrollment and data collection from all subjects.
