Study Description
Brief Summary

Detailed Description
This prospective, single center, pilot study will enroll a total of 15 patients. Patients presenting with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who are at increased risk for stroke and systemic embolism based on CHA2DS2-VASc scores, and who are recommended for oral anticoagulation therapy but have an appropriate rationale to seek a non-pharmacologic alternative to oral anticoagulation, and who meet all eligibility criteria will be enrolled in the study.
Subjects will have clinical follow-up in-hospital and at 45 days, 6 months, 12 months, and 2, 3, 4, and 5 years. Transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) or CT follow-up will occur at 45 days.
The LAmbreTM Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) Closure System is intended to reduce the risk of thromboembolism from the left atrial appendage (LAA) in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who:
-
Are at increased risk for stroke and systemic embolism based on CHADS2 or CHA2DS2-VASc scores and are recommended for oral anticoagulation (OAC) therapy; AND
-
Are deemed by their physician to be suitable for OAC; AND
-
Have an appropriate rationale to seek a non-pharmacological alternative to OAC, taking into account the safety and effectiveness of the device compared to OAC

Device: LAmbreTM Left Atrial Appendage Closure System
The LAmbre device is a self-expanding occluder, composed of a distal Umbrella and a proximal Cover laser welded together, delivered percutaneously via femoral venous access and trans-septal puncture. The distal Umbrella consists of an elastic nitinol frame and outer PET membrane, and has circumferential anchors to secure the occluder to the left atrial appendage (LAA) wall. The proximal Cover is a disc of elastic nitinol mesh, which seals the orifice of the LAA and minimizes thrombus formation, and includes a PET membrane to prevent the passage of blood into the LAA after implantation.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Overall safety, assessed at 12 months [12 months]
Major procedure-related complications, defined as the composite of cardiac perforation, pericardial effusion with tamponade, device embolization, and major vascular complications AND major adverse events, defined as all death, all stroke and major bleeding
- Overall efficacy [12 months]
Overall efficacy, defined as the composite of cardiovascular death, ischemic stroke, and systemic embolization, evaluated throughout the time on study and Efficacy will be assessed when all subjects have reached at least the 12-month follow-up time point (assuming a 24-month enrollment period)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Appendage Closure Success [45 days]
Closure success, defined as technical success followed by successful LAA closure (complete LAA closure or peri-device residual jet <4 mm in width by TEE or CT
