This study is looking at how well Intracardiac Echocardiography (ICE) works to guide the placement of a Watchman device. The Watchman device helps prevent strokes in people with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) who cannot take blood thinners long-term. Currently, doctors use Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) for guidance, which often requires general anesthesia and can have risks. This study aims to show that ICE, which is less invasive, can be just as effective in guiding the Watchman implant. You might be able to join if you meet the standard criteria for a Watchman implant and are not already in another study. The main goal is to see if the Watchman device can be successfully implanted using ICE guidance during the procedure. The current status of this study is unclear.
