Left Atrial Appendage Anatomy: Implications for Endocardial Catheter-based Device Closure.

Abstract

This clinical review focuses on both current devices approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration and investigational devices available for left atrial appendage (LAA) closure. Specifically, the article describes the anatomical considerations that are particularly relevant from a procedural standpoint. In addition, we have also focused on the technical aspects of the procedure.
