结局指标
主要结局
The primary outcome measure is the freedom from Serious Adverse Device Effects, defined as the number of patients without SADEs.
时间窗: 6 Months
Adverse device effects will be sub-classified into device-related or procedure-related, when the adverse event has a generic cause independent from the device itself and occurs within 30 days of the implant procedure.
