NCT ID NCT05292326
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a medical device called PacePress in 122 patients at high risk of bleeding who were getting a heart device implant. The device uses controlled compression to prevent hematomas and other bleeding complications. The trial was terminated early, so its effectiveness is not fully known.
