AFib is an irregular, rapid heartbeat of the heart's atria caused due to a malfunction in the organ's electrical system.

The studies conducted indicate that LARIAT closes the LAA mechanically as well as isolates electrical activity within the LAA, which can be used to treat patients with persistent or longstanding persistent AFib.

The LARIAT can remove LAA as a source of AFib and nidus for thrombus.

In the trial, the percutaneous, non-implant LARIAT suture delivery device is used to treat AF by mechanically and electrically isolating the base of the LAA

SentreHeart intends to enroll a total of approximately 600 patients for the aMAZA trial.
