Exclusion Criteria:
* The patient is known to have an extensive congenital cardiac anomaly which can only be adequately repaired by way of cardiac surgery.
* The patient's size (i.e., too small for TEE probe, catheter size, etc.) or condition (active infection, etc.) would cause the patient to be a poor candidate for cardiac catheterization.

* Subject has an implanted atrial septal defect (ASD) device or patent foramen ovale (PFO) device.
* Subject had surgical ASD or PFO repair.
* Subject has a moderate to severe aortic or mitral valve stenosis or regurgitation as assessed by the investigator.
* Subject has a planned ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation within 60 days after the Ultrasept LAA closure device implant.
* Subject has a New York Heart Association (NYHA) grade 4.
* Patient has a left ventricular ejection fraction of 20% or less.
* Patient has a life expectancy of less than one year.
* Subject has had a recent major cardiac surgical procedure (recent is defined as within 180 days of implant date).
* Subject is pregnant, breastfeeding, or desires to become pregnant during their first 180 days post-implant.
