Discover the Clinical Evidence
Presenting as part of the late-breaking clinical study at Heart Rhythm 2026, Dr. Robert Schaller highlights data establishing how Abbott’s innovative conduction system pacing (CSP) solutions are optimizing left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) for implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) systems without compromising defibrillation performance.
Powering CSP Innovation with the Confidence of Proven Defibrillation Platforms
Distal flex fatigue testing was configured to challenge the lead survivability at stress levels higher than expected when used clinically in the LBBA. Testing was successfully conducted to 400 million cycles, simulating 10 years of service, with no sample failures.5
Reduced distal fatigue on the lead when placed in the left bundle branch area (LBBA)
- Demonstrated in modeling data and in vivo comparison to the models
- Increased flex durability in the LBBA
Successful Delivery and Implant
The UltiSynq Defibrillation Lead and CPS Locator™ 3D Plus Delivery Catheters enable successful lead delivery to the LBBA in a variety of locations along the septum.

Brief Summary: Prior to using these devices, please review the Instructions for Use for a complete listing of indications, contraindications, warnings, precautions, potential adverse events and directions for use.
UltiSynq™ Defibrillation Leads
Indications for Use: The UltiSynq™ defibrillation lead is indicated for use in combination with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy‑defibrillators (CRT‑D) to provide sensing, pacing, and cardioversion/defibrillation therapy in patients who are at risk of sudden cardiac death due to bradyarrhythmias or life‑threatening tachyarrhythmias. The lead may be implanted transvenously in either the left bundle branch area or the right ventricle.
Intended Use: The UltiSynq™ defibrillation lead is intended for use with a compatible pulse generator to provide long‑term cardiac pacing and sensing in the right ventricle or the left bundle branch area, cardioversion/defibrillation therapy to treat life‑threatening ventricular arrhythmias, and biventricular pacing when used with a coronary sinus lead.
Contraindications: UltiSynq™ defibrillation lead, is contraindicated:
- in the presence of tricuspid atresia and significant tricuspid stenosis
- for patients with mechanical tricuspid valves
- for patients with a history of ventricular septal defect, repair, or both
- in patients who are expected to be hypersensitive to device material components or a single dose of 1.0 milligram of dexamethasone sodium phosphates
- in the presence of any condition that precludes adequate vascular access
- for patients with active systemic infection
For contraindications of the ICD/CRT‑D device used with the UltiSynq defibrillation lead, please refer to the applicable pulse generator manual.
