The implant procedure is minimally invasive, requiring only local anesthesia and is quite similar to the implant of other implantable cardiac devices. The Optimizer implant procedure requires three leads: one atrial lead and two ventricular leads. A pressure measurement catheter is also placed in the left ventricle of the heart to evaluate the signal effect. This catheter is removed at the end of the implant procedure. The signal effect is monitored and the system will be implanted only if there is a positive effect of the CCM signal.
