Mastering simple and complex LAA closure: a step-by-step case-based approach

Anchorperson: L. Räber

Spokesperson: J. E. Nielsen-Kudsk

Summary

This case-based session offers a comprehensive approach to mastering left atrial appendage (LAA) closure, emphasizing the critical role of imaging from pre-procedural planning through execution. It covers patient selection, procedural strategies from experienced operators, device selection tailored to anatomy, and nuanced decision-making during challenging device releases guided by peri-procedural transesophageal echocardiography.

Learning Objectives

To understand how imaging guides LAA closure from planning to execution
To gain tips concerning patient selection and procedural strategy from high-volume experienced operators
To obtain practical insights into real-time decision-making regarding device selection
