Case-based learning on different aspects of transcatheter LAA closure
Spokesperson:
O. De Backer
Summary
Engage in case-based learning focused on transcatheter left atrial appendage (LAA) closure. This session covers safe transseptal puncture techniques, state-of-the-art standard LAA closure procedures, management of challenging LAA anatomies, and optimization of post-procedure antithrombotic therapy in high-risk patients.
Learning Objectives
- To learn how to secure a safe transseptal puncture for LAA closure
- To learn how to perform a state-of-the-art standard LAA closure
- To know how to assess the final device implant position in challenging anatomies.
- To understand the fine tuning of post-procedure antithrombotic therapy in high-risk LAA closure patients
