LAA (Left Atrial Appendage) closure

Register for free to this webinar on Wednesday 1 October 5:00pm (UTC+2) with M. Joner, M. Lange and B. Schmidt and understand current indications for left atrial appendage occlusion in clinical practice, and much more!

Navigate complex structural heart interventions through this session focusing on challenging anatomies and innovative procedural strategies. Topics include orthotopic tricuspid valve replacement amidst anatomical and physiological complexities, percutaneous closure of Valsalva sinus fistula, extreme TAVI approaches for pure aortic regurgitation, management of mitral paravalvular leaks with...

This session focuses on echocardiography-guided left atrial appendage (LAA) closure as a critical strategy for stroke prevention. Attendees will explore optimal cardiac imaging techniques tailored to evolving clinical needs and seasonal considerations. The session also includes comprehensive instruction on post-procedural echocardiographic assessment and post-processing workflows in...

Experience a LIVE educational case from University Hospitals Harrington Heart & Vascular Institute demonstrating a minimalist approach to left atrial appendage (LAA) closure. Learn about the use of intracardiac echocardiography, conscious sedation, and local anaesthesia to improve safety and efficiency, along with patient selection, imaging integration,...

A 76-year-old woman with permanent atrial fibrillation, a history of breast cancer, and a recent diagnosis of an intestinal stromal tumour presents with a high thromboembolic and bleeding risk, making long-term anticoagulation unsafe. Cardiac CT reveals a challenging left atrial appendage anatomy. How would you treat this...

Alex Sticchi provides his take on the results of the OPINION trial presented by Yang Wang at the ESC Congress 2025 in Madrid.

Stay updated with the latest in interventional cardiology at #ESCCongress 2025!

Incomplete surgical LAA closure: how would you proceed?
Despite prior closure with an Atriclip during CABG, transoesophageal echocardiography reveals a persistent LAA gap in a high-risk patient with recurrent bleeding.
Explore the clinical details, imaging, and treatment dilemmas—then share your management approach!

Watch the replay of this webinar and learn about the evidence (current guidelines and indications) for LAAC in 2025, and so much more!

Discover the central role of cardiac imaging in transcatheter left atrial appendage (LAA) closure. This session covers sealing techniques, advances in cardiac tomography for assessing LAA wall thickness, fusion of 3D computational modeling with fluoroscopy guidance, device healing evaluation through early serial imaging, and complex cases...
