NCT05667519

Brief Summary

This is the first randomized controlled trial comparing transesophageal echocardiography + fluoroscopy guided lead implantation vs. standard lead implantation guided by fluoroscopy only. Patients are randomized 1:1 in the two groups and followed up for up to 3 years.

    Mean follow up of 2 years

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Death and cardiovascular death

    Mean follow up of 2 years

  • Heart failure hospitalizations

    Mean follow up of 2 years

  • Duration of procedure and radiation

Study Arms (2)

Transesophageal echocardiography + fluoroscopy guided lead implantation

EXPERIMENTAL

TEE will be done in addition to fluoroscopy to guide lead implantation.

Procedure: Additional guidance of lead implantation by transesophageal echocardiography

Fluoroscopy guided lead implantation

NO INTERVENTION

Fluoroscopy only will be used to guide lead implantation.

Interventions

Transesophageal echocardiography guidance of lead implantation targeting a stable lead position in a tricuspid valve commissure (preferentially postero-septal) and an apical ventricular lead position

Transesophageal echocardiography + fluoroscopy guided lead implantation

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • indication for right ventricular lead implantation according to current guidelines

You may not qualify if:

  • preexisting tricuspid regurgitation ≥ grade 2
  • other severe heart valve disease
  • history of tricuspid valve treatment
  • preexisting right ventricular lead
  • chronic dialysis
  • contraindication for transesophageal echocardiography
