Underdevelopment of Left Atrial Appendage [PDF]

Korean Circulation Journal, 2017
A patient was admitted for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. Cardiac computed tomography and transesophageal echocardiography revealed the absence of the left atrial appendage. However, the right atrial appendage looked normal and the level of pro B-natriuretic peptide was within normal limits. Successful catheter ablation was performed without

History of Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion with AMPLATZER Devices. [PDF]

, 2018
AMPLATZER devices preceded WATCHMAN occluder in 2002 for catheter-based left atrial appendage occlusion. The AMPLATZER technique facilitates simultaneous closure of atrial shunts using two devices through one gear.
