Left atrial appendage occlusion: On the need of a numerical model to simulate the implant procedure

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering
Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is a percutaneous procedure to prevent thromboembolism in patients affected by atrial fibrillation. Despite its demonstrated efficacy, the LAA morphological complexity hinders the procedure, resulting in ...

Procedure Volume and Outcomes With WATCHMAN Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion

Circulation. Cardiovascular Interventions
BACKGROUND: Procedure volumes are associated with outcomes for many cardiovascular procedures, leading to guidelines on minimum volume thresholds for certain procedures; however, the volume-outcome relationship with left atrial appendage occlusion is ...

Mechanical Occlusion of the Left Atrial Appendage

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2003
Introduction: Oral anticoagulation therapy reduces significantly the risk of thromboembolism in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, effective oral anticoagulation therapy is not feasible in all patients. The interventional occlusion of the left atrial appendage may reduce the risk of thromboembolism in the latter patients.

Transcatheter Occlusion of the Left Atrial Appendage

Interventional Cardiology Clinics, 2013
The left atrial appendage is a primary source of thrombi in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. Transcatheter left atrial appendage occlusion/exclusion is a novel technology with the potential as an alternative approach for lifelong anticoagulation to prevent potential catastrophic embolic stroke. This article discusses important evaluation,

Robotic-assisted left atrial appendage occlusion

Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery
Atrial fibrillation poses significant stroke risks, particularly in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Left atrial appendage occlusion has emerged as a crucial strategy for stroke prevention, garnering a Class I recommendation. This paper presents a technical framework for performing robotic left atrial appendage occlusion as an isolated procedure or

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion

2005
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. It has a prevalence of 0.4% in the general population, which increases with age (1). Two-thirds of those with AF are considered at high risk of stroke defined as a CHADS2 score of 2–6 with an adjusted stroke rate of 4.0–18% (2).

Transcatheter left atrial appendage occlusion

2019
The role of the surgeon in the cardiac catheterization laboratory has evolved considerably over the past 20 years. In the early days of percutaneous coronary intervention, a surgical theatre was kept on standby in case surgical rescue was required. With the proven success of percutaneous coronary intervention, the rate of coronary artery bypass surgery

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in the Spotlight

JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, 2015
![Figure][1] The significance of the left atrial appendage (LAA) as the predominant source of cardiac thromboemboli associated with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF) and its increasingly recognized direct role in arrhythmogenesis has led to intensive clinical investigation of the LAA ...
