NCT ID NCT06052358
Summary
This study looked at a heart implant called the WATCHMAN FLX for people with an irregular heartbeat (AFib) who also have serious stomach bleeding. The implant aims to prevent strokes without needing long-term blood thinners, which can worsen bleeding. Researchers compared about 250 patients who got the implant to 250 similar patients who did not, tracking their health outcomes over time. The goal was to see if the device is a safe and effective option for this high-risk group.
