Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Perioperative complications
Number of perioperative complications associated with AtriClip placement
First 5 postoperative days
Intraoperative success of exclusion of LAA.
Successful exclusion of LAA is defined as no communication between LAA and LA and \< 5 mm LAA remnant measured by intraoperative transesophageal echo with Doppler.
Intraoperatively
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE)
5 years
Pulmonary complications.
Up to 30 days post operation
Any complications connected with surgical intervention
Up to 30 days post operation
Study Arms (1)
Included
The consecutive patients with atrial fibrillation assigned to totally thoracoscopic stand-alone left atrial appendage occlusion using AtriClip® for stroke prevention.
Interventions
The left atrial appendage is closed from the epicardial side of the heart. Operative access is totally thoracoscopic. The designed and dedicated clip - AtriClip® (AtriCure, Ohio, USA) is introduced to the left pleura through thoracoscopic port.
Anticoagulation therapy discontinuation - according to the standard of care at the discretion of the Investigator.
Eligibility Criteria
The registry will include all patients with atrial fibrillation with high risk of thromboembolic complications - CHA2DS2-VASc Score \>2 and HASBLED score of =\> 2 refered to primary or secondary stroke prevention who do not require open chest surgery for other reasons.
You may qualify if:
- Age \>18 years
- Lone atrial fibrillation
- Previous stroke or systemic thromboembolic complications
- High risk of thromboembolic complications assessed with CHA2DS2-VASc Score \>2
- High bleeding risk assessed with HASBLED score =\> 2.
- Contraindications to oral anticoagulation
- Complications of the oral anticoagulation
- Acceptable surgical candidate, including use of general anaesthesia
You may not qualify if:
- Patient refusal
- Significant valve disease or coronary multi-vessel artery lesions requiring surgery
- Stroke/cerebrovascular accident (CVA) within previous 30 days
- Critical preoperative state
- Presence of thrombus in the left atrium or LAA as documented on intra-operative transesophageal echocardiography
- LAA tissue with significant adhesions (as evaluated by the surgeon) carries AtriClip placement overly risky.
