Carotid Artery Implant for Trapping Upstream Emboli for Preventing Stroke in Atrial Fibrillation Patients

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 20 Feb 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Vine™ is a permanent carotid filter designed to provide protection against embolic stroke in people with atrial fibrillation. It is implanted bilaterally in the common carotid arteries from a thin needle under ultrasound guidance. The procedure is performed without general anesthesia and takes minutes. The safety, feasibility and tolerability of Vine™ will be evaluated. Patients who are eligible will receive Vine™ and will be followed-up for a year after device implantation.
