Stratos LV/LV-T Technical Manual 41

Clinical Endpoints

The safety of the Stratos LV was evaluated based on complications (adverse events that require additional invasive intervention to resolve) related to the implanted CRT system which includes the Stratos LV device, the atrial lead, the right ventricular lead the left ventricular lead and the implant procedure. The target complication-free rate at six months was 85%.

Accountability of PMA Cohorts

During the OVID study, 84 patients were implanted with the Stratos LV CRT-P and Corox OTW/Steroid LV lead system. Additionally, 5 other patients were implanted with a Stratos LV CRT-P device following an unsuccessful Corox OTW/Steroid LV lead implant attempt. Of these 5 patients, three were not implanted with any LV pacing lead, one was implanted with a non-study LV pacing lead and one was implanted with a BIOTRONIK Elox P 60 BP placed in the RV outflow tract for bi-focal ventricular pacing. These 5 patients were excluded from the OVID study at 1 month post-implant, because the primary endpoint of the OVID study was the evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of the Corox OTW/Steroid lead.

Demographics and Baseline Parameters

Table 9 provides a summary of the patient demographics and medical history for the 89 enrolled patients implanted with a Stratos LV. The typical patient implanted with a Stratos LV CRT-P was a 68 year old male with NYHA Class III heart failure, Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB), a mean QRS duration of 160 ms, and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy.
