Cerebral Protection in Transcatheter Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Atrial Fibrillation, Silent Stroke, Cognitive Impairment, Depression
In brief
The study aims to assess the effect of the use of neuroprotection in transcutaneous occlusion of the left atrial appendage in patients with atrial fibrillation on the risk of perioperative silent brain ischemia and associated cognitive impairment and depression.
