Overview
Brief Summary
Prospective, randomized, controlled, multicentre study to compare the safety and efficacy of a Same Day Discharge (SDD) protocol in combination with a Perclose ProStyle (PPS) /ProGlide (PPG) suture mediated vascular closure device to the current gold standard: an overnight stay (ONS) protocol associated with manual compression ± figure-of-eight suture for the patients receiving interventional pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).
Detailed Description
The aim of the study is to prove that the use of a SDD protocol does not lead to a higher rate of adverse events (minor and major), unplanned medical visits (emergency department or outpatients' clinic) and unplanned readmissions, while substantially reducing the costs associated with the medical care and increasing the comfort of the patients on a period of 30 days, when compared to ONS and manual compression ± figure-of-eight suture. Moreover, the safety, efficiency, and feasibility of the SDD protocol should be proven during a follow-up (FU) period of 12 months. The definition of endpoints will be trained in all participating study sites to preserve consistency.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
30 Day vascular access-related adverse events
Time Frame: 30 days post intervention
Primary Safety Endpoint
Time to ambulation
Time Frame: 2 Days after intervention
Primary Efficacy Endpoint elapsed time between removal of the final closure device or removal of final sheath and the moment when the patient stood and walked 20 ft without evidence of venous re-bleeding from the femoral access site (time to ambulation; TTA)
Secondary Outcomes
- Quality of Life assessment - EQ-5D-5L(12 Month after Intervention)
- Quality of Life assessment - AFEQT(12 Month after Intervention)
