Comparing two heart devices to prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares two devices (LAmbre and AMPLATZER Amulet) that are placed in the heart to prevent strokes in people with atrial fibrillation who cannot take blood thinners. If you join, you will be randomly assigned to get one of the two devices.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have atrial fibrillation (a type of irregular heartbeat) and are at high risk for stroke, but you cannot take blood-thinning medicines long-term
- Your doctor has confirmed that the left atrial appendage (a small pouch in your heart) is shaped correctly for either device used in this study
- You do not need long-term blood thinners for other conditions, and you do not have other major heart or infection problems
- You are willing to follow the study schedule and take the medicines required after the procedure

This trial compares a simpler procedure to the standard one for closing the left atrial appendage in people with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see which approach works better for preventing strokes while lowering bleeding risks.
This trial compares two different devices (Amplatzer Amulet and LAmbre) used to close a small pouch in the heart called the left atrial appendage. People with atrial fibrillation who are at high risk for stroke and bleeding may be able to stop blood thinners after the procedure.
This trial tests a device called LAmbre™ II that is placed in the heart to reduce stroke risk in people with atrial fibrillation who cannot take blood thinners. It may be an option if you need an alternative to long-term blood-thinning medication.
This trial tests a new device called LAmbre™ II that closes off a part of the heart called the left atrial appendage to help prevent strokes in people with atrial fibrillation who cannot take blood thinners.
This trial tests a new device (LAmbre Plus) that closes off a small pouch in the heart (left atrial appendage) to reduce stroke risk in people with AFib who cannot take blood thinners long-term. The procedure is an alternative to daily medication.
This trial is testing two ways to guide a procedure that closes a small pouch in the heart to lower the risk of stroke in people with atrial fibrillation. The goal is to see if one method is as good or better than the other.
