Trial Outcomes & Findings for More Options Available With a Quadripolar LV Lead pRovidE In-clinic Solutions to CRT Challenges (NCT NCT01510652)

NCT ID: NCT01510652

Last Updated: 2019-02-15

Results Overview

Percentage of patients with freedom from event (intra- and post-operative). Intra-operative events were defined as: need to use more than 1 left ventricular lead, need to change lead implant position, use of any device to actively fixate the lead, unsuccessful implant, due to phrenic nerve stimulation, high pacing threshold or lead instability. Post-operative events were defined as any left ventricular lead related serious adverse device effect and CRT switched off.

Participant Flow

1078 patients have been enrolled in this study, while 1074 have been randomized to Quad or BiP group. The randomization procedure happened after the enrollment and before the implant, this explains why not all 1078 patients have been randomized

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months

Population: The number of participants analyzed is the number of patients with echo data received for both baseline and 6 months follow up visits (and so comparable)

Percentage of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) responders measured by a decrease of at least 10% of Left Ventricle End-Systolic Volume (LVESV)

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Total duration of the implant procedure reported at the end of the procedure

Population: The number of participants analyzed is the number of patients with implant data duration time available.

This measure reports the length (in time) of the implantation procedure. The measurement start at skin incision and stop at skin suture (so called skin-to-skin time) The total implant procedure duration time will be compared between the control and the treatment group.
