What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Removal success of LV leads implanted for more than 180 days

    Measured: More than 180 days post-implant

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Success of lead removal by how long the lead has been implanted

    Measured: More than 180 days post-implant

  2. Adverse Events that are related to the LV lead, the extraction procedure, or the extraction tool.

    Measured: 0 to 45 days post-lead extraction

  3. Removal success of Medtronic Model 4195 LV Leads implanted for 90-180 days

    Measured: 90 -180 days post-implant

  4. Summary of tools & techniques used to remove LV leads.

    Measured: More than 180 days post-implant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Failure and Indications for Lead Removal, run by Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure at 24 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 24 sites in United States, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Removal success of LV leads implanted for more than 180 days (time frame: More than 180 days post-implant). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Feb 2016.
