Safety and Efficacy Study of Tendril MRI™ Leads in Standard Bradycardia Pacing Indication

Completed

• Conditions: Bradycardia

• Registration Number: NCT01528150
• Lead Sponsor: Abbott Medical Devices

Brief Summary

The purpose of this observational study is the assessment (safety and efficacy) of the St. Jude Medical Tendril MRI™ leads. The Tendril MRI™ leads are a full part of the Accent MRI™ System, consisting of Tendril MRI™ leads and Accent MRI™ pacemaker. The subject population includes patients with a standard bradycardia pacing indication.

Detailed Description

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic method to view high quality two and three dimensional images of the body. However, magnetic resonance imaging systems generate three electromagnetic fields that are used to produce an image. These include a static magnetic field, a time varying gradient magnetic field, and a radiofrequency field. All three of these fields interact with implanted devices and could create hazards for the device, the patient, or both. Due to these issues, currently marketed pacemaker systems may be contraindicated for use in an MRI environment.

St. Jude Medical has developed a system, the Accent MRI™ system, comprised of the Accent MRI™ device and the Tendril MRI™ lead, and an investigational MRI Activator™, designed to mitigate such interactions.

Inclusion Criteria

• Approved Class I or Class II indication per: European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines for implantation of a dual chamber pacemaker or single chamber pacemaker, OR American College of Cardiology (ACC) / American Heart Association (AHA) / Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) guidelines for implantation of a dual chamber pacemaker or single chamber pacemaker

• Have a prosthetic tricuspid heart valve.
• Are currently participating in another investigational device or drug investigation.
• Are allergic to Dexamethasone sodium phosphate (DSP).
• Are pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the duration of the study.
• Have a life expectancy of less than 12 months from Screening due to any life-threatening condition

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Freedom From RA and RV Lead-related Complications	up to 12 months post-implant	Safety of the Accent MRI™ system with the Tendril MRI™ lead will be evaluated in terms of freedom from Right Atrial (RA) and Right Ventricular (RV) lead-related complications for the acute (implant to 2 month visit) and chronic (2 month visit through the 12 month visit) timeframes.
