Vascular Closure With a Device Compared to Manual Compression After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: The LockeT II Study
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The LockeT II study is a single center, prospective randomized study. It is intended to study the effectiveness of using LockeT device to gain hemostasis after venous procedures as compared to Manual Compression (MC). Approximately 110 patients will be enrolled.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Must be at least 18 years of age * Be able to provide consent * Presenting for planned procedures that require percutaneous venous punctures, such as atrial fibrillation radiofrequency ablation, and where the physician utilizes a LockeT device or MC to close the wound. Exclusion Criteria: * Under the age of 18 * Unable to or unwilling to provide consent * Cannot comply with study requirements * Not undergoing procedures that require a percutaneous venous puncture or planned access to the left atrium and/or ventricle * Subjects whose physician does not use LockeT or MC to close the venous puncture. * Patient is currently pregnant, as evidenced by positive urine Beta-HCG. (Urine Beta Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) will be checked in all females of the reproductive age group). * If the physician detects a formed hematoma prior to venous closure, that patient will be excluded from the study.
