Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients intended to be implanted with a EV-ICD system are eligible for enrollment and all patients must be consented prior to implant. Geographies with regulatory approval for the EV-ICD system are eligible to enroll patients (see locations section). All patients enrolled and successfully implanted with an EV-ICD system will be followed for lifetime of device, unless a patient is exited from the registry due to an unavoidable reason such as death, physician discretion, or patient withdrawal of consent. If EV-ICD system is not successfully implanted, patients will be exited from the registry unless a EV-ICD System and/or implant procedure related event is identified, for which the patient will be followed until the event is resolved or no further actions need to be taken.

Who may be able to join

  • Patient or legally authorized representative provides written authorization and/or consent per institution and geographical requirements
  • Patient is intended to receive or be treated with a EV-ICD device System and must be enrolled prior to the EV-ICD device implant procedure

Who cannot join

  • Patient who is, or is expected to be, inaccessible for follow-up
  • Patient is excluded by local local law
  • Patient is currently enrolled or plans to enroll in any concurrent drug and/or device study that may confound the PSR results

About this study

Medtronic is sponsoring Enlighten: The EV-ICD Post Approval Registry, to further confirm safety and effectiveness of EV-ICD in routine clinical practice, following commercial release of EV-ICD devices.

Read the detailed description

The Enlighten Study is a global, prospective, observational, multi-site registry study. This study is conducted within Medtronic's post-market surveillance platform.

Eligibility for enrollment is based on market release dates for EV-ICD System within the geography in which the subject is enrolled.

Patients enrolled in the Enlighten Study will be prospectively followed for the life time of device post-implant or until registry closure, patient death or patient exit from the registry (i.e., withdrawal of consent).

Successfully implanted patients are expected to have scheduled follow-up visits per routine clinical care, at least annually, or as prompted by reportable adverse events. The total estimated registry duration is through lifetime of device.

Being tested
Defibrillation using EV-ICD
Medical subject headings
Tachycardia

  9. Characterize sensing and detection

    Characterize sensing and detection

    Measured: Assessed through the study completion (12 years average), and assessed every year (1 year, 2 years, 3 years, … 12 years)

  10. To characterize defibrillation shock effectiveness for terminating spontaneous VT/VF arrhythmia

    Characterize high voltage therapy effectiveness on device detected spontaneous ventricular episodes

    Measured: Assessed through the study completion (12 years average), and assessed every year (1 year, 2 years, 3 years, … 12 years)

  11. Characterize lead location and lead motion at implant.

    Characterize lead location and lead motion at implant.

    Measured: Assessed through the study completion (12 years average), and assessed every year (1 year, 2 years, 3 years, … 12 years)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ventricular Arrhythmia and Tachycardia, run by Medtronic at 130 sites in 24 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 2 inclusion and 3 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 130 sites in United States, France, Netherlands, Spain, Germany and 19 more countries. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Complication-free survival rate (time frame: 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06048731, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 8 Oct 2026.
