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...
Optimal use of cardiac imaging to plan and guide transcatheter LAA closure
22 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025
Optimize left atrial appendage (LAA) closure outcomes through expert use of cardiac imaging.
