Clinical Trial Summary

Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs) such as pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators, need to be regularly interrogated and reprogrammed to ensure proper functioning. While remote monitoring allows for partial interrogation at a remote location, full interrogation and changing the CIED parameters is only possible when the patient visits a cardiologist capable of performing device programming. This can be challenging for patients and may cause unnecessary delays, particularly in settings of limited resources, enforced physical distancing, and quarantines. We aim to investigate the efficacy and safety of remote programming.


Description:

Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs) such as pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators, need to be regularly interrogated to guarantee proper functioning. In France, the follow-up of approximately 400 000 patients implanted with a CIED is performed by cardiologists. Remote monitoring allows for interrogation of contemporary CIEDs and has revolutionized the care for implanted patients. Early detection of arrhythmias, lead issues, battery depletion and algorithm side effects decreases both morbidity and mortality of CIED patients which is why today remote monitoring enjoys a class IA recommendation. While remote interrogation is advancing steadily, remote programming is not at all possible today. CIED problems may be quickly solved by changing the parameters but this is only possible when the patient visits a cardiologist capable of performing CIED programming. This can be challenging for patients and may cause unnecessary delays, particularly in settings of limited resources, enforced physical distancing, and quarantines. Remote programming of a CIED offers multiple advantages such as shorter travel distances for the patient, reduced need for presence of specialized cardiologists (in small clinics or diagnostic centers) and the possibility to offer expert support at remote locations or developing countries. At Bordeaux University, we have developed a method which enables remote programming of a CIED. The method requires the patient to be in direct vicinity of a CIED programmer, while the cardiologist specialized in CIED programming can operate the programmer from any remote location. We aim to investigate the efficacy and safety of remote programming by applying our method to implanted patients to perform remote interrogation and programming changes.

Study Design


Intervention

Other:
Interrogation/programming
As the study investigates remote programming, we will describe two locations: local (patient side) and remote (expert side). Local support is defined by a physician or a technician under the direct responsibility of a nearby physician who connect the patient to the remote programming system. Similar to a conventional check-up, an external defibrillator will be located in the near vicinity of the patient. The patient will first be connected to the programmer as during a conventional follow-up. The programmer will then be connected to a local PC which captures the programmer VGA video output and controls the programmer through a mouse emulator. This local PC will be remotely controlled by the remote PC using Cisco Webex, a communication software used worldwide to support telemedicine.
