Reveal LINQ™ In-Office 2 (RIO2) Study International

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Arrhythmia
Interventions
Other: Out of cathlab insertion
Registration Number
NCT02412488
Lead Sponsor
Medtronic Cardiac Rhythm and Heart Failure
Brief Summary

The purpose of the RIO 2 International study is to provide clinical and economic evidence to support moving the LINQ™ insertion procedure outside these traditional locations within the hospital, referred to as "out-of-cathlab".

Detailed Description

The traditional location of the LINQ™ insertion procedure is the catheterization laboratory, electrophysiology laboratory, or operating room. The purpose of the RIO 2 International study is to provide clinical and economic evidence to support moving the LINQ™ insertion procedure outside these traditional locations within the hospital, referred to as "out-of-cathlab".

Number of Participants With Untoward Events3 months

An untoward event is a composite endpoint defined as a LINQTM or LINQTM insertion procedure related complication OR an unsuccessful LINQTM insertion procedure, where a LINQTM or LINQTM insertion procedure related complication is defined as an adverse event related to the LINQTM or a LINQTM insertion procedure resulting in:

* Death

* Termination of significant device function

* Invasive intervention (e.g. includes LINQTM revision/explant for reasons other than diagnosis of underlying condition, intravenous drug administration)
