Heart ablation after pouch closure: new registry data collected
NCT ID NCT07580937
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study gathered information from routine medical care for 198 adults with atrial fibrillation who had a prior procedure to close a small heart pouch (left atrial appendage occlusion) and later needed a heart ablation. Researchers looked at patient details, procedure steps, blood thinner use after the procedure, and any complications. The goal was to better understand how to manage these complex cases, not to test a new treatment.
