Left Atrial Appendage Exclusion for Prophylactic Stroke Reduction Trial
Brief description of study
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if closing off the left atrial appendage (LAA) of your heart (a small-sack like structure that is part of the upper chamber of the heart) during scheduled heart surgery with a surgical device known as the AtriClip, reduces the risk of a future stroke.
Detailed description of study
If you participate in this cardiac device study, you will be randomized (like the flip of a coin) during your surgery to either having your left atrial appendage closed off with a surgical device, or not having any additional procedure besides your scheduled regular cardiac surgery. You will have periodic surveys to fill out over a 5-year time period.

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:
- Conditions: Cardiac surgery
-
Age: 18 years - 99 years
