The WAVECREST PMCF Study is a prospective, non-randomized, multicenter study to confirm safety and performance of the Coherex WaveCrest Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) Occlusion System in the current medical practice setting in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who are at increased risk for stroke. Up to 65 subjects may be enrolled at up to 15 study sites in Europe. Patients will be followed through 45 days post-procedure.
The Coherex WaveCrest® Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion System is designed to permanently occlude the Left Atrial Appendage (LAA).

Number of Participants With All-cause Mortality, Pericardial Effusion Requiring Intervention, Device Embolization (Major), Device Thrombus and Ischemic Stroke (Composite Primary Safety Endpoint)
The primary safety outcome was the composite of death from any cause (all-cause mortality), pericardial effusion requiring intervention, device embolization (major), device thrombus and ischemic stroke up to 45 days. The analysis was based on Sponsor Assessment of Adverse Events data. Baseline was defined as the last available measurement on or before the date of the implantation procedure.
Time frame: From baseline up to 45 days
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Device Success
Percentage of participants who achieved device success were reported. Device success was defined as the percentage of participants who had the device deployed and implanted in the correct position. Baseline was defined as the last available measurement on or before the date of the implantation procedure.
Time frame: From baseline up to 45 days
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Technical Success
Percentage of participants who achieved technical success were reported. Technical success was defined as the percentage of participants who experienced successful placement and release of the occluder in the LAA with LAA closure (defined as no leak greater than \[\>\]5 millimeters \[mm\] on color Doppler transesophageal echocardiogram \[TEE\]) and who were discharged from the cardiac catheterization laboratory without the occurrence of device-related complications. Baseline was defined as the last available measurement on or before the date of the implantation procedure.
Time frame: From baseline up to 45 days
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Procedural Success
Percentage of participants who achieved procedural success were reported. Procedural success was defined as the percentage of participants who experienced successful placement and release of the occluder in the LAA with LAA closure (defined as no leak \>5 mm on color Doppler TEE) and who were discharged from the cardiac catheterization laboratory without device-related complications and without procedure-related complications other than minor device embolization (defined as device embolization that can be resolved by percutaneous technique without surgical intervention or damage to surrounding cardiovascular structures). Baseline was defined as the last available measurement on or before the date of the implantation procedure.
