Study summary

Prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center study to compare the safety and efficacy of the Perclose ProStyle suture-mediated closure device (PPS) as to manual compression (MC) for venous hemostasis following single shot device (SSD) based pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to show that the time to ambulation after PVI can be reduced by deploying vascular closure device versus manual compression and a figure-of-8 suture only. Safety, efficacy and feasibility of the PPS device should be proven, too.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Time to ambulation

    elapsed time between removal of the final closure device or removal of the final sheath and when the patient can stand and walk 20 ft without evidence of venous re-bleeding from the femoral access site.

    Time frame: 6 hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. total post procedure time

    elapsed time between removal of the last procedural device for the index procedure and when the patient was able to successfully ambulate

    Time frame: 6 hours

  2. time to hemostasis

    elapsed time between removal of the closure device or the sheath and first observed and confirmed venous hemostasis, for each access site

    Time frame: 6 hours

  3. time to discharge eligibility

    elapsed time between removal of the final closure device or final sheath and when the patient was eligible for hospital discharge based solely on the assessment of the access site, as determined by the medical team

    Time frame: 3 days

  4. time to discharge

    elapsed time between removal of the final closure device or final sheath and when the patient was discharged from the institution

    Time frame: 3 days

  5. time to closure eligibility

    elapsed time between removal of the last procedural device for the index procedure and removal of the first closure device or first sheath

    Time frame: 6 hours

  6. Incidence of major adverse events

    Incidence of major adverse events within 30 days after the procedure

    Time frame: 30 days

  7. Incidence of minor adverse events

    Incidence of minor adverse events within 30 days after the procedure

    Time frame: 30 days

  8. Time to final hemostasis

    Attainment of final hemostasis at all venous access sites and freedom from major venous access site closure-related complications

    Time frame: 3 days
