Featured research - Left atrial appendage occlusion and paravalvular leak closure
Facilitators:
I. J. Amat-Santos, M. Coylewright
Summary
This featured research session delves into innovative transcatheter interventions including left atrial appendage occlusion and paravalvular leak closure. It covers clinical and hemodynamic outcomes of atrial shunting in heart failure, endothelialisation issues post-paravalvular leak closure, and long-term patient follow-up. Advanced guidance modalities and simulation technologies for improved procedural precision and zero-fluoroscopy techniques are also examined.
