Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

CRT implantation guided by XSpline

Arm Description

The sample size estimation was based on two recent studies including CRT patients with similar clinical and demographic characteristics as in this study: the SMART-MSP and the SMART CRT. The SMART-MSP is a prospective, observational study that enrolled 584 CRT recipients at 52 US sites. In a typical modern CRT population, 75% of patients had a reduction of the end-systolic volume ≥ 15% at 6-month follow-up. The SMART-CRT study enrolled 699 CRT patients randomized to a treatment arm and a control group. At 6-months follow-up, a reduction of LVESV ≥15% was achieved for 67.7% of the patients in the control group and for 74.8% of those in the treatment arm. Therefore, it is assumed that in a modern CRT population at least 70% of the patients will have a reduction of the LVESV ≥15% of the baseline value at 6-months after CRT implantation. To demonstrate that this proportion of patients can be equally achieved with the approach tested in this study at least 150 patients need to be included.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Reduction of left ventricular end-systolic volume of at least 15% in 75% of CRT treated patients
Increase in efficacy of CRT using XSpline technology assessed by reduction of left ventricular end-systolic volume of at least 15% at 6-month follow-up in 75% of CRT treated patients, based on routine echo-cardiographic measurements

Secondary Outcome Measures

Feasibility of systematic use of XSpline platform for CRT implantation
Feasibility of systematic use of automatic cloud-based, AI-based XSpline technology through statistics on software performance (e.g. percentage of core tasks completed higher than defined thresholds)
CRT procedural time difference
Evaluate the change in CRT procedural time by comparing with standard approach as found in literature, time in minutes
Total X-ray exposure time difference
Evaluate the change in total X-ray exposure time by comparing with standard approach as found in literature, time in minutes

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The objective of this prospective, multicenter controlled study is to assess the feasibility of a patient-tailored implantation by creating a cloud-based pre-procedural multimodality CRT-roadmap by integration of 3D images from 3D activation sequence from ECG, and coronary venous anatomy from cardiac computed tomography. This CRT-roadmap will be used to guide LV lead placement to a coronary vein in an electrically late-activated region. Study Hypothesis: At least 75% of patients undergoing a CRT implantation guided by non-invasive electrical and venous anatomy assessment (XSPLINE technology) will show a reduction of left ventricular end-systolic volume of 15% or more at 6-month evaluation.

Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
CRT implantation guided by XSpline, a non-invasive electrical and venous anatomy assessment
Intervention Description
The following information and data will be obtained from the routine clinical work up of the patients: Patient demographics, cardiovascular medical history, and clinical examination; 12-lead ECG; Standard echocardiography; Computed tomography angiography for visualization of atria, ventricle, and coronary sinus. Imaging data will be transferred to the cloud-based web-platform using a dedicated software provided by study sponsor. Data processing includes evaluating the quality of the data and calculation of various anatomical and electrical parameters, and identification of the target zone as a point in the target vein closest to the latest activation zone. LV-lead location is based on the information provided by the dedicated software followed by visual X-ray based verification of anatomically suitable/most desirable position. The patient will undergo CRT device implantation according to local protocols.
