The Fourth Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Study: (LAAOS-4)

Status: Recruiting

The purpose of the LAAOS-4 study is to determine if closure of the left atrial appendage using a closure device called the WATCHMAN?, in addition to taking oral anticoagulant medications, is more effective at reducing strokes and blood clots in your body, than taking oral anticoagulant medications on their own.

I'm interested
