New heart device aims to cut stroke risk in AFib patients
NCT ID NCT06168942
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests a new device (Laminar) to close the left atrial appendage, a small pouch in the heart, in 1500 people with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if it is safer and works better than existing devices to reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots. Participants must have a high stroke risk score and be recommended for the procedure.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Documented evidence of paroxysmal, persistent, or permanent non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) * CHA2DS2-VASc score greater than or equal to (\>=) 2 in men and \>= 3 in women * Deemed to be clinically indicated for left atrial appendage (LAA) closure by the Site Investigator and a clinician not a part of the procedural team using an evidence-based decision-making tool in accordance with standard of care * Recommended for chronic oral anticoagulation therapy (OAC) but has an appropriate rationale to seek a non-pharmacologic alternative * Eligible for the protocol-specified post-procedural antithrombotic regimen * Willing and able to comply with the protocol, and has provided written informed consent (participant or legally authorized representative) per institutional review board (IRB) requirements Exclusion Criteria: * Single episode, transient, or reversible atrial fibrillation (AF) (example, secondary to thyroid disorders, acute alcohol intoxication, trauma, recent major surgical procedures) * Prior cardiac surgery or any procedure that involved pericardial access * Stage IV kidney disease or Renal insufficiency, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than (\<) 30 milliliters per minute per (mL/min)/1.73 square meters (m\^2) or participants with end stage renal disease who are dialysis dependent * Any cardiac or non-cardiac interventional or surgical procedures within 60 days prior to or any planned general surgery, cardiac surgery, or interventional procedure within 60 days after implant (including, but not limited to cardioversion, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), cardiac ablation, cataract surgery) * Left atrial appendage anatomy which cannot accommodate either commercially available control device or the laminar implant per manufacturer instructions for use (IFU) (that is, the anatomy and sizing must be appropriate for a control and the Laminar device to be enrolled in the study)
