New 4D ultrasound imaging during left atrial appendage closure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new 3D/4D ultrasound technology that creates detailed images of the heart during a left atrial appendage closure procedure. The goal is to see if this imaging tool helps doctors perform the procedure more safely and accurately.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You need to be scheduled for a left atrial appendage closure (LAAO) procedure, which helps reduce stroke risk, especially in people with atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat).
- You must be able and willing to sign a consent form.
- You cannot be enrolled in any other investigational (research) study at the same time.
- You must not have certain health issues, such as bleeding problems, recent heart attack (within 2 months), severe chest pain or heart failure (class IV), active infection, or a stroke in the past 6 months.

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.
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 study compares two ways of closing a small pouch in the heart (the left atrial appendage) to help prevent strokes in people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). One method is less invasive, and the study aims to see if it is as safe and effective as the standard approach.
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.
This trial tests a new device called ENDOMATIC SEPIOLA that closes a small pouch in your heart (the left atrial appendage) to lower your stroke risk. It is a non-surgical option for people with atrial fibrillation who cannot take blood thinners.
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.
