Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion vs. NOAC

for Atrial Fibrillation

The objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Amulet LAA occluder compared to NOAC therapy in patients with non-valvular AF at increased risk for ischemic stroke and who are recommended for long-term NOAC therapy. The clinical investigation is a prospective, randomized, multicenter active control worldwide trial. Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio between the Amulet LAA occlusion device ("Device Group") and a commercially available NOAC medication ("Control Group"). The choice of NOAC in the Control Group will be left to study physician discretion.

Watchman

for Atrial Fibrillation

This trial is testing if it's safe and effective to perform two heart procedures at the same time for patients with atrial fibrillation. One procedure fixes a leaky heart valve without surgery, and the other reduces stroke risk by closing a small part of the heart. This combined approach aims to reduce risks associated with multiple surgeries and anesthesia.

Ablation

for Atrial Fibrillation

A multicentre, parallel group, two arm, single-blinded randomized clinical trial, assessing the efficacy of a patient-tailored catheter ablation (CA) strategy guided by atrial scar mapping in addition to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) when compared to PVI alone in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF).
