Longitudinal Coverage With Evidence Development Study on Micra AV Leadless Pacemakers (Micra AV CED)

Description

The Micra AV CED study is a study of the Medicare beneficiary population implanted with Micra AV leadless pacemakers or dual-chamber transvenous pacemakers and will be executed by analyzing administrative claims data. The study consists of two primary objectives: estimate the (1) acute overall complication rate, and (2) the 2-year survival rate of patients implanted with a Micra AV leadless pacemaker. As part of the secondary objectives of the study, a comparative analysis of Micra AV leadless pacemakers to dual-chamber transvenous pacemakers will be conducted.

The analysis will be in CMS claims data and is subject to a central IRB. However, individual hospitals are not engaged in research and local IRB oversight is not necessary.
