Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This sub-study is a prospective/retrospective, non-randomized, observational, comparative cohorts study, embedded in and expanding on the infrastructure of a real-world AF ablation registry DISRUPT-AF (NCT06335082).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The prospective arm of the sub-study is intended to enroll 120 subjects indicated for PFA and Watchman in up to 20 US sites within the framework of the DISRUPT-AF registry. Subjects will be screened for eligibility to participate in concomitant PFA ablation for AF and LAAC by Watchman FLX Pro device in a single procedure. Both PVI and LAAC procedures are performed per SOC. In general, percutaneous catheterization will be initially established using FARADRIVE™ steerable sheath for ablation treatment of AF using the FARAWAVE Catheter per instruction for use (IFU) of the device and operator's standard practice. AF ablation will include PVI. Additional right or left atrial ablations are per investigators' discretions. After AF ablation, the FARAWAVE Catheter will be withdrawn. The FARADRIVE™ steerable sheath will be replaced with Watchman FLX deployment sheath. Deployment of Watchman FLX Pro device to LAA to achieve LAAC will follow the standard practice of the care and IFU of the device. Patients will be followed up at 45-90 days for LAAC implant assessment and at 3, 6, and 12 months for arrhythmia recurrence assessment

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Combining LAAC and PFA ablation procedures

AF ablation and LAAC procedures are performed per operators' standard practice. AF ablation will include PVI. Additional right or left atrial ablations are per investigators' discretions. Both AF ablation and LAAC procedures may be performed with ICE or TEE. Assessment of LAAC peri-device leaks and device-related thrombi at 45-90 days may be performed with TEE or cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA).
