NCT ID NCT06523166
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 09, 2026 · Updated 40 times
Summary
This study compares two imaging methods—cardiac CT and transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE)—for checking a heart device called Watchman FLX after it's placed to prevent strokes. About 320 adults will get both tests 90 days after their procedure to see which method better detects leaks or blood clots. The goal is to find a less invasive alternative to the standard TEE, which requires a probe down the throat.
