HasseltAges 18–75 - NCT06620757Recruiting
Short-term single blood thinner after LAmbre device implant
This study tests whether it is safe and effective to use just one blood thinner (aspirin or clopidogrel) for a short time after getting a LAmbre device implanted to close off a heart pouch that can cause strokes. It is for people with atrial fibrillation who cannot take standard blood thinners long-term.
A CoruñaAges 18–100 - NCT06615596RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Stopping blood thinners after successful atrial fibrillation ablation
This trial tests whether it is safe to stop taking blood thinners (anticoagulants) after a successful ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation. If you have had no AF for 3 months after your first ablation, you may be able to stop these medications, reducing your risk of bleeding.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06061757Recruiting
Combining 4D-ICE and TEE imaging for heart closure
This trial tests a new imaging method (4D-ICE) used alongside a standard ultrasound (TEE) during a heart procedure to close the left atrial appendage, a small pouch in the heart where clots can form in people with atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if the new method makes the procedure safer and more precise.
Overland Park, KansasAges 18–80 - NCT06075628Recruiting
CT scan study after LAA closure procedure
This study looks at long-term outcomes after LAA closure (a procedure to reduce stroke risk) by reviewing CT scans of the device. It aims to learn if blood flow around the device affects healing and future health.
Overland Park, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06486792RecruitingPhase 4
Stroke prevention in patients with hidden atrial fibrillation
This trial tests if starting blood thinners can prevent another stroke in people who had a stroke but were found to have a hidden heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation. It is for older adults who have had a recent stroke without a known cause.
Paris, ParisAges 65 years+ - NCT06324188Recruiting
Early ablation for afib to prevent stroke in high-risk patients
This trial tests whether an early procedure (catheter ablation) for atrial fibrillation (AF) can prevent strokes in people with a high risk of stroke. The goal is to see if this treatment is safer and more effective than standard care for patients with other health conditions.
Multiple LocationsAges 18 years+ - NCT06315192Recruiting
Stroke alarm app trial for faster care
This trial tests a smartphone app called Stroke Alarm to see if it helps people who have had a recent stroke, mini-stroke, or have untreated atrial fibrillation get faster care. You may be eligible if you are 50 or older, have a smartphone, and had a relevant event in the last 2 weeks.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06212674RecruitingPhase 4
Stroke prevention: combined heart procedure for atrial fibrillation
This study tests a combined approach — a catheter ablation to fix the irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) and a device to close the left atrial appendage — in people who recently had a stroke caused by a clot. The goal is to prevent future strokes and reduce the need for long-term blood thinners.
