Participant Flow

Eleven (11) of the 12 enrolled subjects underwent a StealthTrac Lead insertion procedure. One (1) subject experienced an adverse clinical event, unrelated to the StealthTrac Lead, that precluded insertion of the StealthTrac Lead and was subsequently withdrawn from the study.

Measure
Subcostal Temporary Extracardiac Pacing Lead
All subjects will receive a subcostal temporary extracardiac pacing lead for a minimum of 48 hours in-hospital and undergo all protocol testing. Subcostal Temporary Extracardiac Pacing Lead: The StealthTrac Lead is designed to facilitate extracardiac temporary ventricular pacing and sensing. The distal end of the StealthTrac Lead is designed to reside within the connective tissue of the anterior mediastinum outside the pericardium. The StealthTrac Lead is delivered using the MACH I Delivery Tool, which is designed to facilitate insertion of the StealthTrac Lead through a small skin incision parallel to the sternum, without the need for fluoroscopic guidance.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 2 days post insertion

Population: All subjects with a StealthTrac Lead

ECG Holter Recordings obtained during periods of rest and in-hospital activity. The % of R-R intervals with appropriate pacing is calculated as the number of paced intervals that demonstrate pacing capture / the total number of pacing intervals. The % of R-R intervals with appropriate sensing is calculated as the number of intervals where pacing is appropriately delivered or inhibited (depending on the programmed settings of the pacemaker) / the total number of R-R intervals. The outcomes are presented a % of intervals and not an average of the percentages observed across patients.
