Single‐Operator Left atrial appendage Occlusion utilizing Conscious sedation TEE, Lack of Outpatient pre‐imaging, and Same‐day Expedited discharge (SOLO‐CLOSE): A comparison with conventional approach

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions
Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) with WATCHMAN currently requires preprocedural imaging, general anesthesia, and inpatient overnight admission. We sought to facilitate simplification of LAAO.
