Treatments tested in this trial
FARAPULSE™ PFA system and WATCHMAN LAAC Delivery Systems
DeviceThe FARAPULSE™ PFA System consists of the FARAWAVE™ Pulsed Field Ablation Catheter, the FARASTAR™ Pulsed Field Ablation Generator, and the FARADRIVE™ Steerable Sheath. The WATCHMAN LAA Closure Technology consists of the WATCHMAN Access System (which consists of the Access Sheath and Dilator and the WATCHMAN Delivery System (which consists of the delivery catheter and the pre-loaded closure device). The WATCHMAN Access System and WATCHMAN Delivery System permit device placement in the LAA via femoral venous access and crossing the inter-atrial septum into the left atrium.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Periprocedural or procedure-related Composite Serious Adverse Events will be assessed
The primary safety endpoint (PSE) is the proportion of subjects with one or more of the periprocedural device or procedure-related Composite Serious Adverse Events (CSAEs) assessed at 30 days following the Index Procedure.
Acute Treatment Success will be assessed
The primary effectiveness endpoint (PEE) is the proportion of subjects with Acute Treatment Success assessed among those receiving ≥1 PFA application and who have a WATCHMAN attempted or implanted.
Secondary outcomes
Device or procedure-related Composite Serious Adverse Events (CSAEs) assessed
Device or procedure-related Composite Serious Adverse Events (CSAEs) assessed at 360 days following the Index Procedure
