Using a steerable sheath for left atrial appendage closure
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether using a special steerable tube (called a sheath) helps doctors close the left atrial appendage more successfully with the Amplatzer Amulet device. This procedure is done to reduce stroke risk in people with atrial fibrillation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat).
- Your doctor has determined you need to close the left atrial appendage (a small pouch in your heart) to lower your stroke risk.
- Your doctor plans to use the Amplatzer Amulet device for the closure.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are willing to join the study.

This trial tests a procedure to close off a small pouch in the heart called the left atrial appendage, which is a common source of blood clots in people with atrial fibrillation. The goal is to lower your stroke risk without needing to take blood thinners long-term.
This study looks at a part of the heart called the left atrial appendage during open-heart surgery. It aims to learn more about heart rhythm problems and blood clots, which may help improve future treatments.
This study tests a procedure that seals off the left atrial appendage (a small heart pouch) to help prevent stroke in people with atrial fibrillation. You may be considered if your stroke risk is high and you are already on blood-thinner medicine.
This study tracks patients who have a minimally invasive procedure to close off a small pouch in the heart called the left atrial appendage. The procedure aims to reduce stroke risk, and this registry collects information about how patients do after the procedure.
This trial compares which two medicines work best after a device closes off a part of the heart called the left atrial appendage. It may help reduce stroke risk while balancing bleeding risk after your procedure.
This trial tests a device that closes off a small pouch in the heart where blood clots can form in people with atrial fibrillation. This may help reduce the risk of stroke without needing long-term blood thinners.
