Official title
Electrically Guided Bachmann's Bundle Pacing Pilot Study: A Novel Lead Placement Strategy With Potential Antiarrhythmic Benefits
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Despite identification of optimal ventricular pacing sites, which not only avoid dyssynchronous activation but can restore ventricular synchrony, optimal atrial pacing sites have not yet been identified. Specialized conduction tracts do not exist in the atria as they do in the ventricle. Activating the atria in a manner that preserves or improves interatrial synchrony may provide clinical benefit based on recent data. Prior site-selective right atrial septal pacing (RAS) pacing studies relied on non-specific fluoroscopic guidance during lead placement. These studies were limited by the lack of an electrogram target and electrical measures of successful atrial resynchronization. The goal of this study is to prospectively evaluate Bachmann's bundle lead placement guided by fluoroscopy and electrical markers (an endocardial electrogram target and paced P-wave criteria) and determine its anti-arrhythmic efficacy compared with right atrial appendage (RAA) pacing. Patients presenting for pacemaker placement with an indication for an atrial lead are randomized to either electrically-guided BB lead placement or RAA lead placement and then followed for 15 months.
