Brief Summary:
This investigation is designed with the hypothesis that using a quadripolar left ventricular lead results in less interventions when dealing with high pacing thresholds and Phrenic Nerve Stimulation (PNS), both at implant and during follow-up, compared to standard bipolar left ventricular leads.

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Actual Enrollment : 1078 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Prevention
Official Title: More Options Available With a Quadripolar Left Ventricular (LV) Lead pRovidE In-clinic Solutions to Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Challenges
Study Start Date : November 2011
Actual Primary Completion Date : May 2014
Actual Study Completion Date : May 2014

Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Quad Group
Patients in the Quad group will be implanted with St. Jude Medical (SJM) quadripolar Left Ventricular (LV) lead Quartet
Device: Quad Group
Implantation of quadripolar Left ventricular (LV) lead Quartet

Active Comparator: BiP Group
Patients in the BiP Group will be implanted with a standard (regulatory approved and commercially available) bipolar left ventricular lead from other companies (non St. Jude Medical leads)
Procedure: BiP Group
Implantation of standard Left Ventricular (LV) lead




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Lead Performance [ Time Frame: 6 months ]

    Percentage of patients with freedom from event (intra- and post-operative). Intra-operative events were defined as: need to use more than 1 left ventricular lead, need to change lead implant position, use of any device to actively fixate the lead, unsuccessful implant, due to phrenic nerve stimulation, high pacing threshold or lead instability.

    Post-operative events were defined as any left ventricular lead related serious adverse device effect and CRT switched off.



Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Responders [ Time Frame: Baseline and 6 months ]
    Percentage of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) responders measured by a decrease of at least 10% of Left Ventricle End-Systolic Volume (LVESV)

  2. Implant Duration [ Time Frame: Total duration of the implant procedure reported at the end of the procedure ]
    This measure reports the length (in time) of the implantation procedure. The measurement start at skin incision and stop at skin suture (so called skin-to-skin time) The total implant procedure duration time will be compared between the control and the treatment group.
