Medtronic First to Receive FDA Approval for Pacing the Heart's Natural Conduction System

DUBLIN, Oct. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Medtronic plc (NYSE: MDT) today announced it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for expanded labeling of a cardiac lead that taps into the heart's natural electrical system, giving patients needed therapy while avoiding complications sometimes associated with traditional pacing methods, such as cardiomyopathy.1 Commonly referred to as "conduction system pacing," this approach helps ensure that pacing closely mimics the heart's physiologic contractions, allowing the heart's ventricles to work in coordination.1

Key Points: 
  • In 2018, the FDA approved the SelectSecure MRI SureScan Model 3830 cardiac lead for His-Bundle pacing, another form of conduction system pacing.
  • Now this cardiac lead is approved for pacing and sensing at the bundle of His or in the left bundle branch area as an alternative to apical pacing in the right ventricle in a single- or dual-chamber pacing system.
  • This new approval adds to the Medtronic legacy of cardiac pacing innovative "firsts," which include:
    The first leadless pacemaker (the Micra Transcatheter Pacing System, launched in 2016 and expanded to patients with AV block in 2020)
    The first wearable pacemaker invented by Medtronic founder Earl Bakken in 1957.
  • "Expanded labeling of this lead allows us to train physicians to successfully perform left bundle procedures, bringing the benefits of conduction system pacing to more patients."
