A Study to Compare the Rate of Major Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Device Infections with the Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope and without

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of the TYRX Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope to reduce major cardiovascular implantable electronic device infections through 12-months post-procedure following  generator replacement, upgrade, revision, or new CRT-D implant.
