LBBP + CSP Versus LBBP Alone for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (LOTTO-CRT)
Left Bundle Branch Pacing + Coronary Sinus Pacing Versus Left Bundle Branch Pacing Alone for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in Patients Eligible for CRT-P A Randomized Crossover Pilot Clinical Trial
The purpose of this pilot clinical trial is to evaluate whether a novel cardiac resynchronization strategy, called LOT-CRT, is more effective than standard physiological pacing alone (LBBAP) in patients with heart failure.
This is a randomized, single-center, crossover pilot study involving 10 patients. All participants will receive a specialized pacemaker (CRT-P) with leads implanted in two specific areas: the Left Bundle Branch Area (LBBAP) and the Coronary Sinus (CS).
Because of the crossover design, each patient will serve as their own control, receiving two different pacing configurations in a random order: Active Phase (LOT-CRT): Simultaneous pacing of the left bundle branch and the coronary sinus. Control Phase (LBBAP alone): Pacing only the left bundle branch area. Each treatment phase will last 6 months, for a total follow-up of 12 months per patient.
By testing both strategies in the same patient, this study will help clinicians identify the most effective way to restore heart synchrony and improve clinical outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure and conduction delays.

Detaillierte Beschreibung
This is a single-center, randomized, crossover pilot clinical trial. Each patient will serve as their own control. Following the successful implantation of a device capable of stimulating the LBBAP and the coronary sinus, participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment sequences:
Sequence A: LOT-CRT (LBBAP + CS) for 6 months, followed by LBBAP alone Sequence B: LBBAP alone for 6 months, followed by LOT-CRT Each treatment phase will last 6 months, followed by an end-point evaluation and a crossover. Since the hemodynamic effect of electrical stimulation is immediate, no washout period is required between phases.
This study was designed as an exploratory pilot study; therefore, no formal sample size calculation was performed. The number of patients enrolled is considered adequate to assess the feasibility of the procedure, the safety of the crossover design, and to identify preliminary signals of clinical and electrical efficacy.

Aktiver Komparator: Sequence A
LOT-CRT (LBBAP + CS) for 6 months, followed by LBBAP alone
|
The CS lead will be implanted in a posterolateral or lateral vein using venography and standard IV delivery sheaths. Proper lead placement is confirmed by stable fixation, pacing capture, and absence of diaphragmatic pacing. The configuration for each phase of the study (LOT-CRT or LBBAP alone) will be assigned during randomization.
Andere Namen:
The LBBAP lead will be implanted via a transvenous approach using the C315His sheath, targeting the left bundle branch area in the right ventricular septum, ideally between the basal septum and the mid-septal region. Criteria for confirming successful LBBAP capture will include:

Beschreibung des IPD-Plans
Individual participant data, appropriately anonymized, that support the reported results will be made available to qualified researchers for the purposes of scientific research or meta-analysis. Requests must be addressed to the Principal Investigator and include a formal proposal. All requests will be subject to approval by the institutional ethics committee. As this is a study with a small sample size (10 patients), the protocol strictly enforces confidentiality; therefore, prior approval is always required to share these data.
The data will be available from 6 months to 5 years following the publication of the main results.
