Summary
This study compares two ways to guide a procedure that closes off a part of the heart to prevent strokes in people with atrial fibrillation. The standard method uses a probe down the throat (TEE), while the new method uses a probe inside the heart (ICE). The goal is to see if the new method is as safe and effective, and if it makes the procedure more comfortable for patients. About 444 people will take part.
