Summary
Consult this session to learn all about how to successfully overcome anatomical barriers during LAA closure procedure: to recognise the ones that challenge successful LAA implementation, understand how to choose the best device in order to overcome them and to learn specific procedural techniques for achieving success in difficult LAA anatomies, while minimising complications.
