Summary
This study looked at using a device called WATCHMAN FLX to close a small pouch in the heart (left atrial appendage) in people with atrial fibrillation who have had serious stomach or intestinal bleeding. The goal was to see if this device could lower the risk of stroke and reduce future bleeding compared to standard care. The study planned to enroll about 500 adults with atrial fibrillation and a history of GI bleeding, but it was terminated early.
