Utilization of WATCHMAN FLX for surgically incomplete left atrial appendage occlusion: a multicentre case series

Abstract: Background In patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, the vast majority of thrombi originate in the left atrial appendage (LAA). Thus, occluding the LAA significantly reduces one’s risk for developing an ischemic stroke. To date, many various surgical methodologies in LAA occlusion (LAAO)/exclusion have been studied and utilized. Unfortunately, patients are often left with incomplete closure of their LAA, leaving behind residual lobes that continue to allow thrombus formations. With t… Show more

“… 5 , 6 Although studies have analysed the use of percutaneous measures such as coils, plugs, or second occluder device deployment in LAA with peri-device leak (PDL), 7 use of percutaneous occlude devices in surgically occluded LAA is far less studied. 8 , 9 We present a case of LAAO device deployment within a surgically occluded LAA with PDL.…”
