- Isolated ascending aortic aneurysm replacement/repair
- Note: Left atrial appendage (LAA) procedures are allowed if CABG and/or valve repair or replacement is the qualifying surgical procedure, but is not a qualifying surgical procedure on its own.
- In sinus rhythm at the time of office visit and prior electrocardiogram (EKG) (note: continuous EKG monitoring for 48 hours is not required).

- Active skin or deep infection at the site of implantation.
- History of chronic wounds or wound-healing disorders.

- Immune-suppressed subjects, immune-deficiency subjects (properly managed diabetes mellitus is not an exclusion criterion).
- Concomitant oral or IV systemic corticosteroid therapy and/or other constant anti-inflammatory therapies.
- Patients already receiving amiodarone as a treatment for atrial fibrillation or ventricular arrhythmias.
