Brief Summary:
The purpose of this clinical investigation was to assess the safety and effectiveness of the EASYTRAK 3 lead

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Congestive Heart Failure Device: EASYTRAK 3 left ventricular pacing lead Phase 2 Phase 3

Detailed Description:
This clinical study was a prospective, multi-center, clinical evaluation to document safety and effectiveness of the EASYTRAK 3 lead in humans. Patients implanted with the EASYTRAK 3 lead were followed through pre-discharge, 1-month, 3-month and 6-month follow-ups

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Moderate to severe heart failure (NYHA Class III/IV) including left ventricular dysfunction (EF <= 35%) and QRS duration >= 120 ms remaining symptomatic despite stable, optimal heart failure drug therapy.
  • Creatinine < 2.5 mg/dL obtained no more than two weeks prior to enrollment.
  • Age 18 or above, or of legal age to give informed consent specific to state and national law.
  • Willing and capable of providing informed consent, undergoing a device implant, participating in all testing associated with this clinical investigation at an approved clinical investigational center and at the intervals defined by this protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • A known hypersensitivity to a 1.0 mg (0.5 mg per electrode) dose of dexamethasone acetate.
  • Previous cardiac resynchronization therapy, a coronary venous pace/sense lead or attempted LV lead placement.
  • Pre-existing cardioversion/defibrillation leads other than those specified in this investigational plan (unless the investigator intends to replace them with permitted cardioversion/defibrillation leads).
  • Requiring dialysis.
  • A myocardial infarct, unstable angina, percutaneous coronary intervention, or coronary artery bypass graft during the preceding 30 days prior to enrollment.
