New study aims to find safest route for pacemaker implants
NCT ID NCT07273929
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares three methods for inserting the wires (leads) of pacemakers or defibrillators during first-time implantation. The three techniques are: cutting down to a vein in the shoulder, using ultrasound to guide a needle through the skin, or using a special ultrasound probe placed inside the incision. The goal is to see which method is most successful and has the fewest complications. The trial will involve 900 adults across multiple centers.
