CT scan study after LAA closure procedure
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had an LAA closure with a Watchman, Watchman FLX, or Amplatzer Amulet device.
- Your procedure was done at Kansas City Heart Rhythm Research Foundation between January 2019 and June 2022.

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.
This study looks at how different imaging tests can help guide a procedure that closes off the left atrial appendage to reduce stroke risk. It may help doctors choose the safest approach during the procedure.
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 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 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.
This study tests whether using a CT scan or a special X-ray (DSA) is better for picking the right size of a left atrial appendage closure device during a combined ablation and closure procedure. It aims to make the procedure safer and more effective.
