Summary
This study tests a new device called the Conformal Left Atrial Appendage Seal in 64 adults with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who are at high risk for stroke. The device is placed to close off a small pouch in the heart where blood clots can form, offering an alternative to long-term blood thinner medication. The main goals are to check safety and how well the device seals the pouch.
