New pacemaker lead aims to keep Heart's natural rhythm
NCT ID NCT07209852
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study is testing a pacemaker lead placed in a specific area of the heart called the left bundle branch area. The goal is to see if this placement is safe and helps the heart beat more naturally in people with slow heart rates. About 140 participants will get the lead and be followed over time. The study is observational, meaning researchers will watch what happens without comparing to another treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Pacemaker lead (INGEVITY+) implanted in the left bundle branch area
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that pacing the left bundle branch area is a safe and effective way to treat slow heart rhythms while keeping the heart's natural pumping pattern.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may not prove superiority over standard pacing. Risks include lead dislodgement, infection, or ineffective pacing.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Subjects included in SEPTA PMCF will be selected from the physician investigator's general patient population with a brady pacing indication for single or dual-chamber pacemaker implantation where LBBAP is preferred. Diverse racial and gender patient consideration should be implemented when determining potential participants.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects intended to undergo initial (de novo) pacing system implant using the INGEVITY+ lead in the left bundle branch area (LBBA) and a Boston Scientific single or dual- chamber pacemaker (Note: no prior attempted pacing system components); 2. Subjects who are indicated for and will receive a Boston Scientific pacemaker system (including the single or dual chamber pacemaker and an INGEVITY+ lead in the LBBA location) for one of the following medical conditions: 1. Symptomatic paroxysmal or permanent second- or third-degree AV block, 2. Symptomatic bilateral bundle branch block, 3. Symptomatic paroxysmal or transient sinus node dysfunction with or without associated AV conduction disorders (i.e., sinus bradycardia, sinus arrest, sinoatrial \[SA\] block), 4. Bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome, to prevent symptomatic bradycardia or some forms of symptomatic tachyarrhythmias, 5. Neurovascular (vasovagal) syndromes or hypersensitive carotid sinus syndromes, 6. Adaptive-rate pacing for patients exhibiting chronotropic incompetence and who may benefit from increased pacing rates concurrent with increases in minute ventilation and/or level of physical activity. Dual-chamber and atrial tracking modes are also indicated for patients who may benefit from maintenance of AV synchrony. Dual chamber modes are specifically indicated for treatment of the following: 7. Conduction disorders that require restoration of AV synchrony, including varying degrees of AV block, 8. VVI intolerance (i.e., pacemaker syndrome) in the presence of persistent sinus rhythm, 9. Low cardiac output or congestive heart failure secondary to bradycardia; 3. Subjects willing and capable of providing informed consent and participating in all testing and clinic visits associated with the clinical study at an approved clinical study location and at the intervals defined by protocol; 4. Subjects who are ≥18 years of age, and of legal age to give informed consent specific to state and national law. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects meeting guideline indications for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in the absence of a bradycardia indication; 2. Subjects with a known or suspected sensitivity to dexamethasone acetate (DXA); 3. Subjects with a Mechanical Tricuspid Valve; 4. Subjects requiring hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis; 5. Subject has or has had implanted any pacemaker, ICD system, including subcutaneous, transvenous or leadless systems (Note: except for temporary pacing wire at time of enrollment) or CRT system; 6. Subjects currently on an active organ transplant list; 7. Subject referred to or admitted for hospice care; 8. Subjects with a documented life expectancy of less than 12 months; 9. Subjects enrolled in any other concurrent study (unless prior approval is received from the Sponsor); 10. Subjects who are, or plan to become pregnant during the course of the study or are breastfeeding at time of enrollment; 11. Subjects who are unable or unwilling to comply with the follow-up schedule, including those living at such a distance from the investigational site that attending follow-up visits would be unusually difficult or burdensome.
