First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study tests if using a small ultrasound probe inside the heart (ICE) is as good as the standard throat ultrasound (TEE) for placing a Watchman device. The Watchman is a device that helps prevent strokes in people with atrial fibrillation. About 100 adults who qualify for the Watchman will get the implant guided by ICE, and doctors will check if it works just as well.
