New pacing lead aims to improve heartbeat in patients with slow heart rate
NCT ID NCT07217392
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new type of heart pacing lead that is placed in the left bundle branch area, a key part of the heart's electrical system. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and works better than standard pacing for people with bradycardia (slow heart rate) or heart failure. About 200 participants will be followed for 6 months after getting the lead implanted.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Left bundle branch area pacing lead (a special heart pacing wire)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a more natural and effective way to pace the heart, potentially reducing complications from traditional pacing.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study focused on safety and device performance, not a cure. Risks include infection, heart injury, or lead malfunction. The benefits over standard pacing are not yet proven.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Meets current clinical practice guidelines for implantation of Tendril STS 2088TC or UltiPace LPA1231 lead in the Left Bundle Branch Area 2. Are ≥ 18 years of age or age of legal consent, whichever age is greater. 3. Subject is willing to comply with clinical investigation procedures and agrees to return to clinic for all required follow-up visits, tests, and exams. 4. Subject has been informed of the nature of the clinical investigation, agrees to its provisions and has provided a signed written informed consent, approved by the IRB/EC. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patient meets a standard contraindication for lead implant including: 1. the presence of tricuspid atresia 2. patients with mechanical tricuspid valves 3. patients who are expected to be hypersensitive to a single dose of one milligram of dexamethasone sodium phosphate 2. Patient is currently implanted with a pacemaker, ICD, or CRT-D/P device 3. Patient has had a previous unsuccessful attempt to place a lead in the LBB area 4. Patient has planned cardiac surgical procedures or interventional measures within 3 months after implant 5. Patient is expected to receive a heart transplant within 6 months 6. Patient life expectancy less than 6 months 7. Patient has the presence of another life-threatening, underlying illness separate from their cardiac disorder 8. Patient is enrolled or planning to enroll in another clinical trial that might confound the results of the present study 9. Pregnant or nursing subjects and those who plan pregnancy during the clinical investigation follow-up period. 10. Presence of other anatomic or comorbid conditions, or other medical, social, or psychological conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, could limit the subject's ability to participate in the clinical investigation or to comply with follow-up requirements of the clinical investigation.
