REPLACE: Implantable Cardiac Pulse Generator Replacement Registry

Official Title:

Prospective Assessment of the Complication Rate After Device Replacement Due to ERI, Advisory or Upgrade

Summary

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.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

* Is able to give informed consent
* Is identified for generator replacement without system modification or generator replacement including planned system modification, regardless of generator manufacturer
* Is clinically stable to tolerate the surgical procedure
* Age 18 years or greater
* Is geographically stable and able to return to the investigational site for follow-up care through the six-month visit

Exclusion Criteria:

* Inability or unwillingness to give informed consent
* Current system infection requiring generator explantation or lead extraction
* Generator replacement requiring planned lead extraction
* Participating in another cardiovascular investigational drug or device registry
* A life expectancy of less than six months
* Expected to receive a heart transplant within 6 months
* All vulnerable subjects as defined by the FDA Office of Human Research Protection or the local IRB providing oversight
