SYNOPSIS OF THE STUDY
- This study is aimed to confirm the safety and efficacy and to access the use and handling of the delivery catheter Selectra 3D which is used to pass the pacemaker lead into the heart via a vein for further connection to a pacemaker.
- The study is sponsored by BIOTRONIK company based in Berlin, Germany via its Australian branch BIOTRONIK Australia Pty Ltd; the company’s pacemaker “Enitra 8” and the pacemaker lead “Solia S” are involved into the research.
- Duration of the study is 24 months with preliminary timescale from April 2020 to January 2022. Recruitment period starts on 1 May 2020 and finishes on 1 May 2021.
