Combined LAA closure and transcatheter mitral valve repair - LIVE Case
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
An 82-year-old male patient with a history of PM (pacemaker) implantation in 2024, and ischaemic cardiomyopathy presented with symptomatic heart failure due to severe secondary mitral regurgitation and impaired LV function (EF 40 %). He also presented with recurrent gastro-intestinal bleeding while on DOAC for atrial...
Broadening OPTIONs for LAA closure: innovations and outcomes
20 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Explore the latest insights into LAA closure from EuroPCR 2025. This session highlights results from the OPTION trial—the largest RCT comparing LAAC (with Watchman FLX) to DOAC therapy in AF patients undergoing ablation. The findings?

Navigating LAA closure in retrobend chicken-wing anatomy
07 Mar 2025
A 76-year-old female patient with a history of atrial fibrillation and contraindication to long-term anticoagulation presents for left atrial appendage closure. However, preprocedural imaging reveals a challenging retrobend chicken-wing morphology. What is the best technique to optimize positioning and ensure safe, effective closure in this scenario?
