SAFE HV is a study to see how safe and effective it is for doctors to do eight or more left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) device implants in one day. A left atrial appendage occlusion device is used to help prevent blood clots in the heart. The Watchman FLX™ is a type of LAAO device that has helped many patients since 2009. This study wants to find out if doing many implants in one day is just as safe as doing fewer. The study will also look at how doctors manage to do so many implants and if this can help other doctors in the future.
- Length of Study: Participants need to attend follow-up visits for the full study duration.
- Eligibility: Must be 18 or older and qualify for the LAAO device.
- Participation: Requires signing a consent form and procedures are done on high-volume days.
If you join, this can help improve how doctors perform these important procedures and may help more patients in the future.
