ambulate same day discharge registry

Conditions: Vascular Closure

Summary: a multi-center, prospective, single-arm post market registry, designed to collect both performance and complication outcomes when same day discharge is enabled by the study device, in sealing multiple femoral venous access sites at the completion of ablation procedures for atrial fibrillation with or without another arrhythmia, performed through 6 - 12 fr inner diameter (maximum 15f od) introducer sheaths.


Eligibility criteria:

2. capable and willing to give informed consent; 3. acceptable candidate for an elective, non-emergent catheter-based paroxysmal atrial fibrillation ablation procedure with or without another arrhythmia via the common femoral vein(s) using a 6 to 12 fr inner diameter (max 15f od) introducer sheath 4. is accompanied by a person who will be available to assist the subject for 24 hours post-procedure and/or has access to emergency services; 5. is willing/able to stay overnight at the hospital per physician discretion. 6. able and willing to complete two follow-up contacts at 2-4 days and 15 (± 5) days post-procedure. 7. acceptable candidate for emergent vascular surgery, and/or manual compression of the venous access site; intra-operative inclusion: all criteria apply: 1. in the investigator's opinion, the subject is a candidate for same day discharge per protocol (e.g., no new pericardial effusion, post-procedure diuresis not needed, etc.). 2. physician or designee will be on site for discharge evaluation. 3. case completed in time for subject to be reasonably recovered and discharged according to protocol. 4. all femoral venous access sites are planned to be closed with the mvp note: initial subject eligibility will be determined based on pre-operative screening. final subject enrollment will be determined at the end the procedure, prior to closure, based on general intra-op exclusion criteria, as well as additional intraoperative criteria. enrollment is thus determined intra-operatively, at the end of the case and just prior to closure. exclusion criteria: pre-operative exclusion: subjects will be excluded from participating in this study if they meet any of the following criteria prior to initiation of the index procedure: 1. advanced refusal of blood transfusion, if it should become necessary;

16. administration of low molecular weight heparin (lmwh) within 8 hours before or after the procedure; 17. planned procedures or concomitant condition(s) that may extend ambulation attempts beyond routine ambulation and/or hospital discharge time (e.g., staged procedure, serious co-morbidity, uncontrolled obstructive sleep apnea, congestive heart failure), in the opinion of the investigator. 18. current diagnosis of persistent or permanent atrial fibrillation. general intra-op exclusion criteria: subjects will be excluded from participating in this study if any of the following exclusion criteria occur during the index procedure: 1. any attempt at femoral arterial access during the procedure; 2. any procedural complications that may extend routine recovery, ambulation and discharge times; 3. if the physician deems that a different method should be used to achieve hemostasis of the venous access sites, or that the subject should not attempt ambulation according to the protocol requirements; 4. all venous access sites must are subject to the following exclusion criteria, assessed immediately prior to enrollment: 1. difficult insertion of procedural sheath or needle stick problems at the onset of the procedure (e.g., multiple stick attempts, accidental arterial stick with hematoma, "back wall stick", etc.) in any of the study veins; 2. a procedural sheath \ 12 fr in inner diameter is present at time of closure; 3. venous access site location is noted to be "high", above the inguinal ligament (cephalad to lower half of the femoral head or the inferior epigastric vein origin from the external iliac vein);
