Left Atrial Appendage Absent

Brief summary

Retrospective-prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, unblinded, post-market study to evaluate the long-term performance and safety of AtriClip® FLEX-V LAA and PRO•V LAA Exclusion devices for exclusion of the left atrial appendage of the heart during concomitant cardiac procedures.

Detailed description

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the long-term performance and safety of AtriClip® FLEX-V LAA and PRO•V LAA Exclusion devices for exclusion of the left atrial appendage of the heart during concomitant cardiac procedures in participants for which a VCLIP was placed previously. Participants are consented and evaluated to confirm long-term performance of the AtriClip®.
