Multimodality Imaging in Evaluating and Guiding Percutaneous Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion.

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography
Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has emerged as an important intervention for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) who are unable to tolerate long-term anticoagulation.

Intracardiac echocardiography versus transesophageal echocardiography guidance on left atrial appendage occlusion in patients with atrial fibrillation: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Journal of Arrhythmia
Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is an innovative technique that has emerged as an alternative to transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to guide the implantation of a left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) device in patients with nonvalvular atrial ...

Peridevice Leak After Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion: Incidence, Mechanisms, Clinical Impact, and Management.

JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2023
Left atrial appendage occlusion is an increasingly adopted stroke prevention strategy in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, peridevice leaks after the procedure are not infrequent and have recently been shown to confer a higher risk for ...

Hemodynamic effects of left atrial appendage occlusion

Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology, 2021
Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) devices have emerged as alternatives to anticoagulation for embolic stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). The left atrial appendage is known to produce vasoactive neuroendocrine hormones involved in cardiovascular homeostasis.

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion and Its Role in Stroke Prevention.

Stroke
Atrial fibrillation is a frequent cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with an increased risk of cardioembolic stroke. The left atrial appendage is a finger-like extension originating from the main body of the left atrium and the main location of ...

Intracardiac vs Transesophageal Echocardiography for Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion With Watchman FLX in the U.S.

JACC Clinical Electrophysiology, 2023
BACKGROUND Intraprocedural imaging is critical for device delivery in transcatheter left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). Although pivotal trials of LAAO devices were conducted using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), intracardiac echocardiography

Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion in Patients With Thrombus in Left Atrial Appendage

Journal of Invasive Cardiology, 2020
Atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion is a therapeutic option for thromboembolic prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients who have contraindications to oral anticoagulation (OAC) or high risk of bleeding. Traditionally, thrombus in the LAA has been considered a contraindication for LAA occlusion.

Position Statement on Cardiac Computed Tomography Following Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion.

JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions
Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is rapidly growing as valid stroke prevention therapy in atrial fibrillation. Cardiac imaging plays an instrumental role in preprocedural planning, procedural execution, and postprocedural follow-up.
