5 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The ICD Registry™ is a nationwide quality program that helps participating hospitals measure and improve care for patients receiving implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices with defibrillator (CRT-Ds). The ICD Registry captures the characteristics, treatments, and outcomes of patients receiving (ICDs). Patient-level data is submitted by participating hospitals on a quarterly basis to the American College of Cardiology Foundation's (ACCF) National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) which then produces an Outcomes Report of the hospital's data, with comparison to both a volume peer group (number of ICD patients submitted annually) and the entire ICD registry data set.
The primary objectives of this registry is to correlate the amount of fibrosis as documented on Electrocardiogram (ECG) gated Computed Tomography (CT) scans with ease of advancing sheaths over the leads through the SVC zone during lead extraction.
The purpose of this study is to determine the learning curve associated with Ultrasound (US) guided axillary vein access for cardiac device implantation based on length of procedure among operators of various levels of experience and to assess the 30-day complication rate for patients undergoing US guided device placement versus traditional implant methods.
The objective of this study is to compare groin complication rates in low and high risk patients post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) closed by either a 6 French Perclose vascular closure device (VCD) or manual compression.
The objective of this study is to prospectively estimate the all-cause complication rates at 6-months for patients undergoing generator replacement due to elective replacement indicator (ERI), advisory, or upgrade without a planned system modification or with a planned system modification. Secondarily, this study aims to compare the influence of baseline variables contributing to the all-cause complication rates for subjects undergoing generator replacement.
