Combining pulmonary vein isolation and left atrial appendage closure for atrial fibrillation treatment

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) who are at high risk for stroke and cannot use long-term oral anticoagulation. It evaluates the safety, efficacy, and efficiency of a combined approach using pulsed field ablation (PFA) for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) in a multicenter registry. The study aims to determine if this concomitant procedure can provide benefits over traditional methods, particularly in terms of reduced procedure times and enhanced safety profiles. The Farapulse PFA system is utilized, which has shown promising results in previous registries.
