Impact of Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Device Implant Depth on Thrombus Formation

Device-related thrombus (DRT) remains one of the main issues following left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). Among the known risk factors, most are unmodifiable. Device implantation depth, as a modifiable factor, holds promise as a potential means to reduce the risk of DRT. A recent article published in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions assessed the impact of LAAO … Read more
