Recruiting
Led By Dhanunjaya Lakkireddy, MD
Research Sponsored by Kansas City Heart Rhythm Research Foundation
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Presenting for planned procedures that require percutaneous venous punctures, such as atrial fibrillation radiofrequency ablation, and where the physician utilizes a LockeT device or MC to close the wound.
Must be at least 18 years of age
Must not have
Not undergoing procedures that require a percutaneous venous puncture or planned access to the left atrium and/or ventricle
If the physician detects a formed hematoma prior to venous closure, that patient will be excluded from the study.
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies

Summary

This trial will compare a new device to manual compression to see which is more effective at stopping bleeding from veins after procedures. 110 people will take part.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who can consent and are undergoing venous procedures like atrial fibrillation ablation, where a LockeT device or manual compression (MC) will be used to close the wound. It's not for those under 18, unable to consent, pregnant women, or if their doctor doesn't use these closure methods.
What is being tested?
The LockeT II study is comparing two ways of stopping bleeding after vein procedures: using a new device called LockeT versus traditional hand pressure (Manual Compression). About 110 patients will participate in this research at one medical center.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include discomfort at the puncture site, bruising or bleeding complications related to the vascular closure method used. The specific side effects of the LockeT device compared to manual compression will be studied.
