Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Additional guidance of lead implantation by transesophageal echocardiography

Additional guidance of lead implantation by transesophageal echocardiography: Transesophageal echocardiography guidance of lead implantation targeting a stable lead position in a tricuspid valve commissure (preferentially postero-septal) and an apical ventricular lead position

Study summary

This is the first randomized controlled trial comparing transesophageal echocardiography + fluoroscopy guided lead implantation vs. standard lead implantation guided by fluoroscopy only. Patients are randomized 1:1 in the two groups and followed up for up to 3 years.
