Tiny leadless pacemaker tested against wired version in seniors
NCT ID NCT05856799
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a new leadless pacemaker (Micra AV) is better than a traditional wired pacemaker for people aged 75 and older with heart block. The goal is to see if the leadless device improves quality of life, patient acceptance, and exercise ability. Eighty participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two pacemakers and will be followed for up to 12 months.

Inclusion Criteria: * First time pacemaker implantation on class I or II ESC recommendations for AVB with an expected amount of right ventricular pacing \>80% of the time, * Age 75 years or older * Intact sinus node function * Expected survival more than 12 months based on clinical evaluation * Able to provide informed consent Exclusion criteria: * Persistent or previous cardiac implantable electronic device i.e., pacemaker, ICD, or CRT. * Persistent, or chronic atrial fibrillation * Reversible AVB * Transient AVB due to ongoing ischemia * Heart failure NYHA class III-IV * Heart failure with branch block and indication for CRT implantation, irrespective of NYHA class * Indication for primary or secondary prophylactic ICD implantation * Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) within 3 months * Severe chronic pulmonary disease with pulmonal hypertension limiting exercise capacity * Expected survival \< 12 months based on clinical evaluation * Performing high intensity sport * Participation in another trial with experimental treatment * Contraindication against device implantation (e.g., concurrent infection) * Failure to provide informed consent
