Summary

This prospective nationwide registry aims to assess the durability of left atrial appendage occlusion when performed via totally thoracoscopic, percutaneous and hybrid- minimally invasive approaches and collect information on possible adverse events.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Totally thoracoscopic LAAO - ATRICLIP

The device for surgical totally thoracoscopic left atrial appendage occlusion AtriClip® Gillinov-Cosgrove™ (AtriClip, AtriCure, Dayton, OH, USA) consists of an automatically closing clip placed in a deployment loop on a disposable holder with the head articulation of 60 degrees side-to-side and up/down. The several novel features of the system in comparison to previous ones, such as its length, maneuverability and releasing system, enable it to be used in a totally thoracoscopic fashion. The AtriClip® PRO has parallel titanium crossbars that equalize the force over the tissue trabeculations of the LAA during deployment, ensuring a sealed line at the base of the LAA orifice, as confirmed in preclinical and clinical studies. The clip can be opened and closed repeatedly before final deployment when only the correct placement is confirmed in TEE.

DEVICE

Percutaneous LAAO - WATCHMAN

Using a modified Seldinger technique a vessel dilator and a guidewire are inserted into the femoral vein. Under trans-esophageal echocardiography and fluoroscopy guidance, an interatrial septum is punctured using typical trans-septal access. The pigtail catheter is placed in the distal portion of the left atrial appendage and then the access sheath is inserted. After choosing the appropriate Watchman size the device is deployed and seals the left atrial appendage.

DEVICE

Hybrid- minimally invasive LAAO - LARIAT

LARIAT system consists of: A) endocardial magnet-tipped guidewire. It is placed inside the left atrial appendage through the introduction of a catheter into the femoral vein; B) epicardial magnet-tipped guidewire. It is placed on the outside of the left atrium through the atrial appendage puncture of the pericardium. Each wire has a magnet of opposite polarity enabling end-to-end alignment; C) A compliant occlusion balloon catheter to identify the LAA and allow for a very precise and effective seal of the left atrial appendage; D) The LARIAT suture delivery device. It is introduced by an earlier puncture of the pericardium in the vicinity of the left atrial appendage and guided over magnet wire onto the base of the LAAO. With the LARIAT suture delivery device, the lumen of the left atrial appendage is closed from outside the heart, resulting in the elimination of the thrombus source.
