Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults over 18 years old who require a definitive pacemaker or intracardiac defibrillator implant.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients under 18 years old or those who are pregnant will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the clinical characteristics of patients receiving permanent cardiac pacing and to compare the efficacy and safety of various implantation techniques. Participants over 18 years old with an indication for a pacemaker or intracardiac defibrillator will be included, and the study will evaluate the contribution of non-fluoroscopic anatomical and electrophysiological reconstruction systems during the procedures. The study focuses on multiple pacing modalities, including endocardial, epicardial, cardiac resynchronization therapy, conduction system pacing, and leadless pacing.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of cardiac pacing techniques, leading to improved patient outcomes and quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success with various cardiac pacing approaches, but this study aims to provide a comprehensive comparison of multiple techniques in clinical practice.
