Summary

This study tests if using a camera inside the heart (intracardiac echocardiography) is as safe and effective as the standard throat camera (transesophageal echocardiography) for guiding a procedure to close a heart pouch. The goal is to prevent strokes in people with an irregular heartbeat. About 444 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods.
