Optimal use of cardiac imaging to plan and guide transcatheter LAA closure

Discussants: S. Berti, X. Freixa Rofastes, J. E. Nielsen-Kudsk

Spokesperson: F. Hellig

Summary

Optimize left atrial appendage (LAA) closure outcomes through expert use of cardiac imaging. This session details the role of various imaging modalities in pre-procedural planning, intraprocedural guidance, and post-procedural assessment. Gain practical insights on transesophageal echocardiography, computed tomography, intracardiac echocardiography, and their integration to enhance procedural precision and patient safety.

Learning Objectives

To understand the role of cardiac imaging in planning LAA closure
To learn how different imaging modalities can be used during the LAA closure procedure
To gain insights into post-procedural imaging and potential clinical implication
