About this study

Official title: Venous Vascular Closure System Versus Manual Compression Following Single Shot Device AF Ablation - the Style-AF Study

Prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center study to compare the safety and efficacy of the Perclose ProStyle suture-mediated closure device (PPS) as to manual compression (MC) for venous hemostasis following single shot device (SSD) based pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to show that the time to ambulation after PVI can be reduced by deploying vascular closure device versus manual compression and a figure-of-8 suture only. Safety, efficacy and feasibility of the PPS device should be proven, too.

Receives: Procedure: deploying vascular closure device versus manual compression

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Time to ambulation

    elapsed time between removal of the final closure device or removal of the final sheath and when the patient can stand and walk 20 ft without evidence of venous re-bleeding from the femoral access site.

    Measured: 6 hours

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. total post procedure time

    elapsed time between removal of the last procedural device for the index procedure and when the patient was able to successfully ambulate

    Measured: 6 hours

  2. time to hemostasis

    elapsed time between removal of the closure device or the sheath and first observed and confirmed venous hemostasis, for each access site

    Measured: 6 hours

  3. time to discharge eligibility

    elapsed time between removal of the final closure device or final sheath and when the patient was eligible for hospital discharge based solely on the assessment of the access site, as determined by the medical team

    Measured: 3 days

  4. time to discharge

    elapsed time between removal of the final closure device or final sheath and when the patient was discharged from the institution

    Measured: 3 days

  5. time to closure eligibility

    elapsed time between removal of the last procedural device for the index procedure and removal of the first closure device or first sheath

    Measured: 6 hours

  6. Incidence of major adverse events

    Incidence of major adverse events within 30 days after the procedure

    Measured: 30 days

  7. Incidence of minor adverse events

    Incidence of minor adverse events within 30 days after the procedure

    Measured: 30 days

  8. Time to final hemostasis

    Attainment of final hemostasis at all venous access sites and freedom from major venous access site closure-related complications

    Measured: 3 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing deploying vascular closure device versus manual compression in people with Atrial Fibrillation, run by University of Luebeck at 3 sites in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to ambulation (time frame: 6 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05563142, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jul 2024.
