AtriClip® Left Atrial Appendage Exclusion Concomitant to Structural Heart Procedures (ATLAS) (ATLAS)

October 28, 2021 updated by: AtriCure, Inc.
Patients without a documented history of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and will undergo a valve or Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) procedure with direct visual access to the Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) will be eligible to participate. Patients enrolled will be randomized 2:1 (2 with AtriClip to 1 without AtriClip. Subjects who develop Post-operative Atrial Fibrillation (POAF) and receive the AtriClip will be followed for 365 days post index procedure.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Patients without a documented history of AF but who present with a CHA2DS2- VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥ 75 years, diabetes mellitus, stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), vascular disease, age 65 to 74 years, sex category) of => 2 and HASBLED (Hypertension, Abnormal Renal/Liver Function, Stroke, Bleeding History or Predisposition, Labile INR, Elderly, Drugs/Alcohol Concomitantly) of => 2 and will undergo a valve or CABG (structural heart) procedure with direct visual access to the LAA will be eligible to participate based upon the inclusion and exclusion criteria defined in this protocol. Up to 2000 patients will enroll at up to 40 sites and will be randomized 2:1 (2 with AtriClip to 1 without AtriClip. Subjects who not develop Post-operative Atrial Fibrillation (POAF) will be followed for 30 days for safety. Subjects who develop POAF and receive the AtriClip will be followed for 365 days post index procedure.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients satisfying the following criteria will be considered the screening population and will be eligible for participation:

  • Age > 18 years male or female.
  • Scheduled for any non-mechanical valve and/or CABG (structural heart) procedure where direct access to the LAA is expected.
  • No documented preoperative AF.
  • CHA2DS2-VASc score of => 2.
  • HASBLED score of => 2.
  • Acceptable surgical candidate, including use of general anesthesia.
  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients satisfying the following criteria will not be eligible for participation:

  • Redo cardiac surgery.
  • Mechanical heart valve or other anticipated or current requirement for anticoagulation therapy during the post-operative (30 day) period.
  • Hypercoagulability conditions that may confound the study.
  • Ejection Fraction < 30.
  • Left Atrium > 6 cm.
  • Severe Diastolic Dysfunction.
  • Requires anticoagulation therapy.
  • Patient had a stroke/cerebrovascular accident (CVA) within previous 30 days prior to signing informed consent.

Intra-Operative Exclusion Criteria

  • Presence of thrombus in the left atrium or LAA.
  • LAA tissue is deemed friable or has significant adhesions (as evaluated by the surgeon) near or on the LAA making AtriClip placement overly risky.
  • Left atrial appendage is outside the range of manufacturer's recommendations - width < 29mm or > 50mm.
  • Direct visualization access is not available for AtriClip placement.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Perioperative Complications Associated With AtriClip Placement
Time Frame: Within any 24 hour period during the first 2 days post-index procedure
Defined as: stroke, major bleeding that requires re-operation and/or transfusion of > 2 U packed red blood cells (PRBC), myocardial infarction (MI), or death.
Within any 24 hour period during the first 2 days post-index procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
