About this trial

The study aims at comparing, in a large cohort of consecutive clinically indicated left atrial appendage closure, clinical and imaging outcomes between different subpopulations.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age> 18

Written informed consent to participate in the study

Patients with paroxysmal, persistent, or permanent non-valvular AF and CHA2DS2-VASc Score of ≥2 that are planned for an elective LAA-closure

Anatomic characteristics allow placement of a CE marked device, dedicated for LAAC

Disqualifiers

None. Considering the nature of the project, which is to prospectively collect information on all patients treated with LAAC in our center, we will only exclude patients unwilling to sign the informed consent.

Trial population

Patients with paroxysmal, persistent, or permanent non-valvular AF and CHA2DS2-VASc Score of ≥2 that are scheduled to undergo to an elective Left Atrial Appendage Closure

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Use of echocardiography guidance for LAAC

    Other intervention
