Left Atrial Appendage Closure as Secondary Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation-related Embolic Events

Recruiting
Conditions
Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation
Embolic Stroke
Registration Number
NCT04559243
Lead Sponsor
Lifetech Scientific (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.
Brief Summary

This clinical study is a prospective, multi-center, non-interventional study designed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of percutaneous LAA appendage closure by using LAmbre™ Left Atrial Appendage Occluder System. 579 patients with valvular AF complicated with previous AF-related embolic events (including ischemic stroke, TIA and systemic embolism) were enrolled at about 20 study sites nationwide. The baseline data, operation process and relevant follow-up information of subjects were recorded at 7 months after operation or before discharge and at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after operation.

Detailed Description

Study Population Patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and previous AF-related embolic events Purpose To assess the feasibility and safety of percutaneous LAA closure as secondary prevention for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) and previous atrial fibrillation (AF) related embolic events (including ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), and systemic embolism).

Surgical success

Incidence rate of severe adverse events within 24 months after operation24 months

including but not limited to all-cause death, events requiring hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, severe endocarditis requiring surgery, pericarditis, cardiac perforation, valvular injury, vascular or gas embolism events, occluder detachment/displacement, occluder fracture, occluder thrombosis (DRT), stroke events

Successful LAA closure was defined as a residual shunt ≤ 3 mm by TEE or ICE after implantation of the LAA occluder.

(4)Perioperative (7 days after operation or before discharge) surgery-related complications7 days

7 days after operation or pre-discharge procedure-related complications include but are not limited to stroke (ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke), systemic embolism, allergic reaction, gas embolism, pericardial effusion/cardiac tamponade requiring intervention, occluder detachment, occluder thrombosis (DRT), minor bleeding events (including but not limited to puncture site hematoma, non-major bleeding events), infection, arrhythmia, damage to blood vessels or organs on the implantation path and adjacent organs

Occluder defects during operation and in the 3rd month after operation3 months

Including but not limited: Occluder displacement, Occluder detachment, Occluder breakage, Occluder damage, etc
