The nitinol-based, self-expanding LAmbre closure system shows promising initial results in terms of efficacy and safety in worldwide different clinical trials offering an alternative to the known Amulet and Watchman closure systems. Lifetech received CE Mark approval for the LAmbre closure system on 15 June 2016. Different studies have shown encouraging results in terms of feasibility and efficacy of the novel occluder. The favorable device design gives a big advantage in the occlusion of difficult left atrial appendage anatomy.
