An observational study of Pacemaker, run by French Cardiology Society at 1 site in France.
Trial summary
Although the idea of a leadless pacemaker was first proposed in the 1970s to eliminate the probes, pockets and connectors required by conventional cardiac procedures and the associated complications, the first devices were not developed until the late 2010s. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: France LEADLESS, A Safety and Effectiveness Monitoring in France for AVEIR VR LP and AVEIR AR LP
Although the idea of a leadless pacemaker was first proposed in the 1970s to eliminate the probes, pockets and connectors required by conventional cardiac procedures and the associated complications, the first devices were not developed until the late 2010s. Leadless pacemakers can also improve patient comfort by replacing surgery with a percutaneous procedure, eliminating the mass and scar visible at the implantation site of a conventional pacemaker, and eliminating the need for activity restrictions to prevent dislodgement after implantation of a conventional lead.
This french Registry "France LEADLESS" is a national registry designed to confirm the safety and efficacy of the AVEIR VR LP System in a patient population indicated for the implantation of a VVI(R) pacemaker in France and the AVEIR AR LP System in a population of patients indicated for the implantation of an AAI(R) pacemaker or both systems used in conjunction in a population of patients indicated for the implantation of a DDD(R) pacemaker. This registry will also make it possible to collect the characteristics and indications of patients under normal conditions of use.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Pacemaker, run by French Cardiology Society at 1 site in France.
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 3 inclusion and 2 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Mar 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in France. 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?
Contact Pascal DEFAYE ((0)4 76 76 50 48 ext. +33, PDefaye@chu-grenoble.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
To confirm the safety of the AVEIR VR LP VVI® and AVEIR AR LP AAI® devices when used either individually or in combination with the DDD® device. (time frame: during 24 months after implantation). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT06262295, which also lists 5 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 9 Mar 2026.
