Steerable Delivery Sheath for Optimized LAA Closure: First Experience and Procedural Outcomes

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 106, Issue 1, Page 73-79, July 1, 2025.
ABSTRACT Background The new Amplatzer Steerable Delivery Sheath is a delivery system designed to improve ease‐of‐use and procedural results of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). We aimed to compare procedural results after switching our LAAC program at a tertiary care center with the Amulet device to the Steerable Delivery Sheath, with a control ...

A case with congenital absence of the left atrial appendage

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 41, Issue 3, June 2025.
Congenital absence of the left atrial appendage (LAA) is an extremely rare anatomical variation with important implications for the management of atrial fibrillation (AF). Additionally, atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) production may be compensated by the right atrial appendage (RAA) in cases of congenital LAA deficiency.
