Study population: Patients intended to be implanted with a Micra system are eligible for enrollment and all patients must be consented prior to the implant. Only geographies with regulatory approval for the Micra system are eligible to enroll patients (see locations section). All patients enrolled and successfully implanted with a Micra system will be followed for a minimum of 9 years, unless a patient is exited from the registry due to an unavoidable reason. If a Micra system is not successfully implanted, patients will be exited from the registry unless a Micra System and/or implant procedure related event is identified, for which the patient will be followed until the event is resolved or no further actions need to be taken.
Who may be able to join
- Patient or legally authorized representative provides written authorization and/or consent per institution and geographical requirements
- Patient is intended to receive or be treated with a Micra Transcatheter Pacing System and must be enrolled prior to the TPS implant procedure
Who cannot join
- Patient who is, or is expected to be inaccessible for follow-up

About this study
Medtronic is sponsoring the Micra Registry to further confirm safety and effectiveness of the Micra Transcatheter Pacing System (Micra system) when used as intended, in "real-world" clinical practice, following commercial release.
The Micra Registry is conducted within Medtronic's Product Surveillance Registry.
Read the detailed description
The Micra Registry is a global, prospective, observational, multi-site registry. Patients enrolled in the Micra Registry will be prospectively followed for a minimum of 9 years post-implant or until registry closure, patient death, patient exit from the registry (i.e., withdrawal of consent), or unless patient is participating in an acute performance sub-study of the Micra Registry*.
Enrolled patients will have scheduled follow-up visits at least annually or as prompted by reportable adverse events; however, all Micra system follow-up patient visits are to be reported. Therefore, if more frequent scheduled visits occur per a provider's standard care practice, those visits are reported. The total estimated registry duration is 11 years.
*Patients contributing to an acute performance sub-study of the Micra Registry do not contribute to the FDA-regulated Post-Approval Study which includes a long-term (minimum 9-year) patient follow-up period.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Micra Transcatheter Pacing SystemDevice
Also called Micra, Micra TPS
The Micra system is a miniaturized single chamber pacemaker system that is delivered via catheter through the femoral vein and is implanted directly inside the right ventricle of the heart. The Micra implantable device is a self-contained, hermetically enclosed, miniaturized single chamber pacemaker. The device is fixated via four electrically inactive nitinol tines, located on the distal end of the device.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Patients implanted with Micra System | Patients implanted with a Micra Transcatheter Pacing System are eligible for enrollment into the Micra PA Registry. Receives: Device: Micra Transcatheter Pacing System |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Acute complication rate
To estimate acute complication rate related to the Micra system and/or implant procedure.
Measured: 30-days
Long-term complication free survival
To estimate the chronic complication free survival rate of the Micra system.
Measured: 9 years
Secondary outcomes (5)
Pacing impedance (ohms) and pacing threshold (volts)
Summary statistics of electrical performance 5-years post-implant measurements will be reported.
Measured: Up to 9 years
Complications stratified by implant type
A listing of Micra system and/or implant procedure related complications stratified by implant types including de novo implants, previous cardiac device, or co-existing hardware. The listing will include complications will be listed including device implant date, complication category, complication date, device-relatedness and seriousness.
Measured: Up to 9 years
Estimate Micra System revision rate
Summary statistics post-implant Micra System revisions, including system explant, replacement (with and without system explant), reposition will be reported.
Measured: Up to 9 years
Estimate System Longevity
Summary statistics regarding battery length will be reported.
Measured: Up to 9 years
Confirm the rate response operation of the Micra system
Analysis of treadmill testing data from patients implanted with Micra for at least 3 months. Rate response data collected in the registry will be combined with data from the FDA Investigational Device Exemption study (NCT 02004873).
Measured: Approximately 2 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Bradycardia, run by Medtronic at 156 sites in 24 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Feb 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 156 sites in United States, France, Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom and 19 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Acute complication rate (time frame: 30-days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02536118, which also lists 5 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Feb 2026.
