DiamondTemp™ System for the Treatment of Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Korábbi kezelés

• At time of enrollment and/or prior to procedure:
• LA ablation, septal closure device or mitral valve surgical procedure at any time prior to enrollment
• Sepsis, active systemic infection or fever (\>100.5 oF / 38 oC) within a week prior to the ablation procedure
• Known allergies or intolerance to anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapies to be used in conjunction with the study or contrast sensitivity that cannot be adequately pre-treated prior to the ablation procedure.
• Enrollment in a concurrent clinical study that in the judgement of the investigator would impact study outcomes.
• Life expectancy \<12 months based on medical history or the medical judgement of the investigator.
  • Within 1 month of enrollment or just prior to procedure:
• Implant procedure performed for ICD, CRT leads or pacemaker

Más betegség
