What are the key steps in pre procedural assessment for successful LAA closure?
16 Nov 2025 – From PCR London Valves 2025
Lorenz Räber and Kasper Korsholm highlight why pre-procedural imaging—particularly cardiac CT—has become essential for successful left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO). They explain that the LAA is highly variable between patients, making detailed planning crucial for safety, device selection, and optimal procedural results.
