  Purpose

This is a prospective, randomized, multicenter study to provide additional information on the safety and efficacy of the WATCHMAN LAA Closure Technology.

The PREVAIL study was amended to initiate a prospective, non-randomized continued access study titled "Continued Access to PREVAIL (CAP2)" to collect additional information on the safety and efficacy of the WATCHMAN LAA closure technology. The study is estimated to enroll an initial cohort of 300 subjects with a maximum of 1500 subjects, at 60 investigational sites in the U.S.
