Purpose

RESTORE-SR study is a multi-center, prospective, nonrandomized study with case matched concurrent controls to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the AtriCure Bipolar System

Condition	Intervention	Phase
Atrial Fibrillation	Device: Surgical bipolar radiofrequency ablation using the AtriCure Bipolar System	Phase III

Genetics Home Reference related topics: Brugada syndrome familial atrial fibrillation short QT syndrome

U.S. FDA Resources

Study Type:	Interventional
Study Design:	Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title:	A Prospective, Multi-Center Study With Case Matched Controls to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of the AtriCure Bipolar System for the Treatment of Continuous Atrial Fibrillation as Adjunct Therapy to Elective Open Heart Surgery

Further study details as provided by AtriCure, Inc.:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of treated patients who are free of atrial fibrillation without the need for anti-arrhythmic agents at the six-month follow-up visit. [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The primary safety endpoint is the occurrence of serious adverse events that are considered to be associated with the Maze procedure. [ Time Frame: 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

The secondary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of patients in the treatment group who are free of atrial fibrillation independent of the need for anti-arrhythmic drugs. [ Time Frame: 6 Months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
The secondary safety endpoints are: total cross clamp time, total time on bypass, length of hospital stay (days), and length of ICU stay (hours) [ Time Frame: Discharge ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Enrollment:	39
Study Start Date:	January 2005
Estimated Study Completion Date:	May 2008
Primary Completion Date:	December 2007 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
