Study of the left atrial appendage during open-heart surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for an open-heart surgery, such as bypass, valve repair or replacement, or aorta surgery.
- You do not have an active infection inside your heart (endocarditis).
- You are able to return for follow-up visits after your surgery.

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 two ways to close off a part of the heart called the left atrial appendage to help prevent stroke risk in people with atrial fibrillation. It may help choose which procedure is safest and works best for your situation.
This study tests whether closing a heart pouch called the left atrial appendage can prevent future strokes in people with atrial fibrillation who had an ischemic stroke even while taking blood thinners. It may help reduce stroke risk by blocking a common place where clotting can start.
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 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 study is a hospital registry that collects information from people who are having a device placed to close a part of the heart called the left atrial appendage. It helps doctors understand how this procedure works in real life, including different outcomes.
