SALT - Success of Active Versus Passive Lead Fixation of Atrial Pacing/Sensing Electrodes (SALT)

March 10, 2015 updated by: Guidant Corporation

Scandinavian Atrial Lead Trial

Randomised Comparison with regards to complication rate and electrical measurements of atrial leads with different fixation mechnism

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This investigation will study and compare 3 types of electrically identical, commercially available FineLine II Sterox leads with different fixation mechanisms. This trial has been designed to primarily study the difference in repositioning rate between active and passive fixation (straight and J-shaped) leads, if any. It will also monitor and document the behavior of the study leads, with special reference to electrical parameters and handling. Normal measurements are taken at pre-dicharge, 1-month 3-month and 12-month follow-up

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients selected for participation in this investigation should be candidates for permanent pacemaker implantation chosen from the investigator's general patient population without regard for race or sex. Furthermore, these patients should, in the physician's general opinion, benefit from permanent pacemaker implantation with one of the study leads. Patients should be geographically stable and available for routine follow-up visits throughout the duration of the study. Patients must also be able and willing to provide informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who previously went through heart surgery should be excluded from the study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
The primary objective of this study is to compare repositioning rate due to threshold > 3.0 V @ 0.5 ms or P-wave < 0.8 mV between FineLine II Sterox 4480 and 4470, and between 4456 and 4470.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
1. Other complications (Safety). To compare other lead related complication rates such as perforation, lead fracture and failure to implant. 2. Electrical properties
