Filter by:CASE AF aims to describe the reality of medical care of patients in whom atrial fibrillation is treated by cardiac surgical ablation.
This is a single arm, open label, single site study assessing the feasibility of post-procedural edoxaban therapy in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients after clinically indicated WATCHMAN left atrial appendage (LAA) closure.
This is a single centre prospective data registry. In this study atrial conduction characteristics of extended surface Electrocardiograms (esECG), biomarkers and genetic analysis will be performed before ablation, before discharge and 3 months after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) and compared to routine clinical follow-up data. The objective of this registry is to establish a data registry of patients undergoing ablation of AF. Supplementary to the routine clinical diagnostic an esECG and an analysis of biomarkers will be performed and compared to clinical and outcome data.
The Purpose of this open-label randomized controlled multicenter trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mono-drug therapy with oral anticoagulant compared to combination therapy with antiplatelet drug, in ischemic stroke patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and atherothrombosis.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of cryoablation of atrial fibrillation in patients with severe chronic heart failure (CHF) on long term outcome of CHF and efficacy (endurance) of the procedure itself. The study hypothesis is that cryoablation in eligible patients with CHF and ICD/CRT (implantable cardioverter defibrillator / cardiac resynchronization therapy) implants reduce the number of recurrent CHF hospitalizations, mortality, need for mechanical support of LV (left ventricle) and heart transplant (primary endpoint) at 1 year observation in comparison to traditional (pharmacological) treatment..
The purpose of this study is to perform a prospective, randomised study investigating the safety and efficacy of cryoballoon catheter ablation compared with radiofrequency ablation(contact force), in the treatment of persistent AF.
The optimal antithrombotic treatment for Coronary Heart disease (CHD) patients combined with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is unresolved at present. Although the European and American guidelines have given a hand for us, there is absence of real-world data on the safety and efficacy of antithrombotic therapy in Asian populations. Only a few clinical trials are available to guide difficult decision on antithrombotic therapy in patients with combined AF and CHD，the investigators highlight the need for the rapid development of clinical trials to close the large gaps in evidence. This research aims to know the real-world use of antithrombotic treatment and clinical prognosis in Coronary Heart Disease patients complicated with Atrial Fibrillation.
It's a multi-center, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial of cryoballoon versus radiofrequency ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
This registry is designed to observe the safety and effectiveness of WATCHMAN left atrial appendage closure technology in a Chinese population.
Patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation and requiring chronic anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation (AF) with a CHA2DS2-VASc >1 are required to receive triple antithrombotic therapy . This triple therapy includes dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin in combination with an oral anticoagulant with either a vitamin K antagonist (VKA) or an oral anticoagulant (NOAC). Recently NOAC, inhibiting the IIa (dabigatran) or Xa (rivaroxaban and apixaban) in the coagulation cascade have demonstrated non inferiority compared to VKA to prevent thrombo-embolic events in non-valvular AF for patients with a CHA2DS2-VASc >1 . Interestingly, NOAC are associated with a reduced fatal bleeding rate compared to VKA. Overall they seem to result in a lower bleeding rate compared to VKA in association with antiplatelet agents. Recently European guidelines regarding patients requiring chronic anticoagulant therapy and undergoing coronary stent implantation have been updated. However they are based on an expert consensus because of the scarce data available. These guidelines advocate the combination of dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin in combination with the lower dose of OAC or VKA with a target INR between 2 and 2.5 . The triple therapy should be prescribed for 1 to 6 months depending on the bleeding and thrombotic risk and the clinical setting. In patients with high bleeding risk the guidelines suggest that a sole antiplatelet agent could be used in addition to anticoagulation following the WOEST study . In the recently published ESC guidelines on the management of atrial fibrillation, despite the lack of new data, the expert advocate triple therapy followed by dual antiplatelet therapy in most patients for 12 months. The recently published PIONEER study reinforced the possibility of the use of rivaroxaban in these patients. In this trial including ACS and not ACS patients undergoing PCI rivaroxaban 15 mg in addition to a P2Y12 ADP receptor antagonist was associated with less clinically relevant bleeding compared to triple therapy with VKA- aspirin and clopidogrel and similar efficacy .
