Atrial Fibrillation Trial, Recruiting
Who may be able to join
AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI
Who might be able to join this trial:
- People who have had a successful procedure to open blocked heart arteries (called PCI) due to chest pain caused by reduced blood flow (unstable angina or stable coronary artery disease)
- People who have a type of irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation that is not caused by a heart valve problem
- People who also have at least one of the following conditions: heart failure, high blood pressure, are aged 65 or older, have diabetes, or have previously had a stroke, a mini-stroke (TIA), or a blood clot
- People whose treating doctor has determined them to be eligible for long-term blood-thinning medication of a specific type (called a NOAC)
- People who are able to understand the study, provide written agreement to take part, and follow all study requirements
Who may not be able to join:
- People under 18 years of age
- People who are unable to give informed consent, or who are currently in another clinical trial that has not yet reached its main study goal
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding (a pregnancy test is required within 7 days before the procedure for women who could become pregnant)
- People with another serious illness where life expectancy is less than 3 years
- People whose heart and circulation are currently unstable
- People who have a known allergy or medical reason to avoid medications such as heparin, blood thinners, anti-clotting drugs, or contrast dye used in imaging
- People whose PCI procedure was performed due to a heart attack (STEMI or NSTEMI), or who had a heart attack as a complication of the PCI procedure
- People who have a medical reason that makes the left atrial appendage closure (LAAO) device unsuitable, or for whom the device is not considered necessary (confirm with trial site)
- People who have a condition other than atrial fibrillation that requires long-term blood thinning medication, such as having a mechanical heart valve
- People who have had, or are planning to have, any other heart or non-heart procedure or surgery within 30 days before or 60 days after the device implant (for example, cardioversion, ablation, or cataract surgery)
- People with active, ongoing bleeding
- People who have had a stroke or mini-stroke within the 30 days before enrolling in the study
- People with significant narrowing of the arteries in the neck (carotid artery disease) causing symptoms
- People with severely reduced kidney function (confirm specific measurement with trial site)
- People who have a blood clot in the left atrial appendage (a small pouch in the heart), as seen on imaging
- People with a specific type of hole in the heart (patent foramen ovale or atrial septal defect) that is considered high risk and needs treatment
- People whose heart anatomy is not suitable for the LAAO device
- People with rheumatic heart valve disease or significant narrowing of the mitral valve
