Percutaneous Closure Versus Figure-of-eight Suture for Hemostasis in Leadless Pacemaker Implantation.

A Randomized Comparison of Percutaneous Closure to a Figure-of-eight Suture With Manual Compression for Hemostasis of Large-bore Access for Leadless Pacemaker Implantation

The study will be a randomized comparison of percutaneous suture-mediated closure (SMC) versus manual compression with a superficial figure-of-eight suture (MC) for large bore venous access used for leadless pacemaker implantation.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients aged 18 and older
• Patients undergoing leadless pacemaker implant at UMass Chan Medical Center
• Subjects able to understand and provide written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients who are pregnant
• Patents who are not able to ambulate prior to the procedure
• Other conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator constitute a risk or contraindication for participation in the study or that could interfere with the study objectives, conduct or evaluation
