A Pivotal Investigational Device Exemption Study on Laminar Left Atrial Appendage Elimination
brief summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of Laminar Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) device as compared to the commercially available LAAC devices in participants with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) to reduce the risk of stroke (blocked blood vessel or bleeding in brain) and systemic embolism (blockage in a blood vessel harming vital organs).
detailed description
This prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter, open-label pivotal clinical study will enroll participants with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who are eligible for short-term anticoagulation therapy but have a rationale to seek non-pharmacologic alternative. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to the Laminar Left Atrial Appendage Closure System or commercially available device (WATCHMAN™ left atrial appendage closure device / Amulet™ left atrial appendage occluder).
