“We know that in those patients with atrial fibrillation that the clot that causes that stroke comes from a certain area of the heart called the left atrial appendage,” Holmes said, explaining that the appendage is a muscular pouch connected to the left atrium. “The device isolates the left atrial appendage.”

“Efficacy was dramatically better with the device, and stopping the warfarin,” Holmes said.

“A strategy like this can be used in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation to prevent stroke, and get them off warfarin,” Holmes said.

“The major risk of atrial fibrillation is blood clots forming in the heart, and then breaking loose to cause stroke. Most of these blood clots form in the appendage of the left atrium,” Fonarow said.

“The findings from this clinical trial are very impressive,” Fonarow said. “Although there were some procedure-related complications, treatment with this novel device will be very attractive and provide patients with atrial fibrillation effective, long-term protection from stroke and systemic embolization without the bleeding risks associated with warfarin.” Via
