DOI: 10.1002/ccd.30086
Abstract: Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) is the preferred imaging modality to guide transcatheter left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has evolved as a less invasive alternative to TEE. Several observational studies have shown similar success… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ccd.31126
Abstract: Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) represents an alternative to oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention in patients with non‐valvular atrial fibrillation (AF). While transoesophageal echocardiography is the current standard for guiding LAAC procedures, several centers have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ccd.31613
Abstract: Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) is usually performed after a pre‐procedural evaluation by transesophageal echocardiography (TOE) or cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Nevertheless, these ad‐hoc examinations imply an additional use of hospital resources and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/clc.23136
Abstract: Although left atrial appendage (LAA) anatomy and topographic relations are well understood, little is known about the impairment of neighboring structures (NBS) by an implanted left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) device. This prospective longitudinal observational… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12471-019-1295-5
Abstract: AimsOral anticoagulation (OAC) reduces the ischaemic stroke risk in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but in turn leads to an increased risk of adverse bleeding events. Alternatively, left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) using a mechanical device… read more here.
