Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This a prospective randomized trial occurring in patients undergoing routine ablation for atrial fibrillation as standard of care. The purpose of this study is to determine if using a small internal suture (or "stitch") facilitates faster times to hemostasis (stopping bleeding) after removing intravenous sheaths (special IVs that are used for ablation procedures) after an atrial fibrillation ablation procedure. The device used to place the stitch is PerClose Proglide and is an already FDA-approved technology for closing these IV sites. The study will also determine if it is safe to get up and walk sooner than what is considered typical after closing these IV sites with the PerClose device. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either manual compression or use of the PerClose for hemostasis at the end of the ablation procedure. The length of follow-up will be up to 30 days at routine clinical follow-up after the procedure.
