Exclusion Criteria:
Subject is enrolled in any other concurrent study, with the exception of local mandatory governmental registries and observational studies/registries* that are not in conflict and do not affect the following:
Those subjects randomized to the MRI Group will undergo a study-specific MRI scan 6-9 weeks post-implant.
Radiation: MRI · Device: ImageReady System implant
Those subjects randomized to the Control Group will not undergo s study-specific MRI scan. All follow-up time requirements are the same for the two groups.
Device: ImageReady System implant
The study-specified MRI scan includes RF- and gradient-intensive sequences designed to test the ImageReady System in the MR environment
Also known as: MR Scan
Pacemaker and lead(s) implant
Also known as: Single chamber pacemaker implant, Dual chamber pacemaker implant, Pace/ Sense pacemaker lead implant
Proportion of Participants Without MR Scan-related Complications
The primary safety endpoint for SAMURAI will be assessed for all subjects randomized to the MRI Group who undergo any portion of the MRI scan sequences. Safety will be confirmed by evaluating the MRI scan-related Complication-free rate (CFR) between the MR Scan and the MRI Visit + 1 Month Visit.
Time frame: MRI Visit + 1 Month
Success Rate for Threshold Measurement at 1 Month Post-MRI Scan or Control Group Visit
The MRI scan can result in damage to cardiac tissue surrounding lead electrodes due to RF field-induced heating, which in turn may cause elevated pacing thresholds. Primary Effectiveness Endpoint 1 will evaluate any chronic effects from lead heating that will be seen through increased pacing threshold at the MRI Visit + 1 Month follow-up. Subjects with an increase in pacing thresholds s 0.5V (at 0.5 ms) from pre-MR Scan/Control Group visit to MRI/Control visit + 1 Month follow-up were considered a success. A success rate was calculated for both the MRI and the Control Groups.
Time frame: MRI + 1 Month Visit
Success Rate for Sensed Amplitude Measurement at 1 Month Post-MRI Scan or Control Group Visit
The MRI scan can result in damage to cardiac tissue surrounding lead electrodes due to Radiofrequency (RF) field-induced heating. Primary Effectiveness Endpoint 2 will evaluate any chronic effects from lead heating that will be seen through decreased sensed amplitude at the MRI Visit + 1 Month follow-up. Data were analyzed separately by chamber, Right Atrium (RA) and Right Ventricle (RV), for this endpoint.
Time frame: MRI + 1 Month Visit
Proportion of Participants Without ImageReady System-related Complications
Overall safety of the ImageReady System will be confirmed by evaluating system-related complications that occur from system implant through 3 months post implant for all subjects who underwent an implant procedure and and reached 91 days of follow-up.
Time frame: 3 months post implant
363 patients were consented and enrolled in this study. 11 patients were withdrawn pre-implantation. 352 patients underwent the implantation procedure and 348 patients were successfully implanted. 1 patient died prior to randomization.
